Beaver Ponds — 47 acres southeast of the hamlet of Indian Lake — sits in working forest country where the High Peaks give way to rolling second-growth and a web of private timber roads. The name suggests active beaver work, and the acreage implies a flooded drainage rather than a natural basin; water levels likely shift season to season depending on dam maintenance. No public access documented, no fish stocking records on file — this is one of hundreds of mid-sized Adirondack waters that exist on the map but not in the recreation grid. If you're poking around Indian Lake's backcountry by canoe or on foot, assume gated roads and ask locally before planning a trip in.
