Berrymill Pond.
Berrymill Pond sits in the eastern Adirondacks near Paradox Lake — a 71-acre water with minimal public footprint and no formal DEC access or fish stocking records on file. The pond reads as private or semi-private on most maps, typical of the patchwork land ownership in the Schroon Lake / Paradox corridor where state land, posted parcels, and right-of-way questions overlap. If you're tracing old topo maps or exploring the network of seasonal roads in the area, expect gates and uncertainty rather than trailhead signage. Best approached as a cartographic curiosity rather than a paddling destination.
Berrymill Pond reaches a maximum depth of 19 feet, with a mean depth of 7 feet. Berrymill Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Thunderbolt Mountain and Grizzle Ocean Mountain.
