Just South of Exit 30 off I-87

With headwaters in the Eastern High Peaks of the Adirondacks, between Macomb Mountain and South Dix, West Mill Brook is a small, steep creek. The higher you go, the steeper and smaller it'll be. From a comment: We ran this stream 4/20/08 when the Ausable was at 6.1 feet. It is a 2-mile hike in and needs to be thoroughly scouted, with many strainers along the run. There are a couple of class-IV drops at the top of the runnable section followed by boulder fields that can only be run at high levels. We spent an entire day scouting and hiking for about 30 minutes of paddling. The lower section under the Northway is class I-II but many portages. Almost the entire run is on private property. We obtained permission from the owners first. Todd, Bret, Chad and Shawn Jorgensen ran the creek but all were bruised at the end. Other than the long hike, strainers, pricker bushes, and shallow runouts after the 2 significant drops it was a pleasure. Eastern Adirondacks Reaches Ausable, E. Branch Ausable, W. Branch (1.)
