Berry Pond.
Berry Pond is a 17-acre pocket of water in the Lake George Wild Forest — small enough that it rarely shows up in conversation but large enough to hold a kayak for an afternoon. No fish stocking records and no developed access means this is a bushwhack or private-access situation, the kind of water that sits quietly between bigger destinations and gets visited mostly by people who already know it's there. If you're poking around the back roads east or west of the lake itself, Berry Pond is the sort of name you see on the DeLorme and file away for later — not a headline, but not nothing either.
Berry Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Patent Line Mountain and Kenyon Mountain.
