Brandy Brook Avenue was originally the easternmost tenth of a mile of River Street, after its junction with Lake Flower Avenue. The name was created as part of Saranac Lake's implementation of the 911 Emergency Response System. It is named for Brandy Brook, which the street parallels as it drains Moody Pond into Lake Flower. A student at River Street School in the 1950s remembers that what is now called Brandy Brook was known to the kids as Hogwallow Creek and that a few families raised pigs in pens at the dump upstream. Brandy Brook also passed by the Saranac Lake Gas Company on Payeville Road, where it was contaminated by the waste products of the coal gasification process.
