Amos Lake is a 13-acre pocket water in the Speculator region — small enough that it rarely appears on general recreation maps, but named and logged in the DEC inventory. No fish stocking records on file, and no established trail or lean-to documented in the standard references, which typically means private-land borders or walk-in access through unimproved woods. Lakes this size in the Speculator area often sit between larger systems — useful for float-plane pilots and old hunting camps, less so for the day-trip crowd. If you're headed that way, confirm access and ownership before you bushwhack.
