Bacon Pond is a 7-acre pocket water in the Lake George region — small enough to stay off most touring itineraries, which makes it a reliable refuge when the big named lakes get crowded. No fish stocking data on record, and the size suggests marginal trout habitat at best, but that's never been the draw here. This is a pond for people who want to sit on a shoreline alone with a dog and a book, or paddle a kayak in dead-still water without crossing wakes. Access details vary by season — check with the local DEC office or regional paddling groups for current put-in status and ownership boundaries.
