Brown Pond

Brown Pond is a four-acre water in the Indian Lake township — small enough that it likely sees more moose traffic than paddler traffic, and remote enough that it doesn't show up on most recreational radar. No fish data on record, no formal trail infrastructure, no nearby peaks to anchor a hiking loop — this is the kind of pond you find on a USGS quad while planning a bushwhack or stumble onto during hunting season. If you're looking for solitude measured in acres per visitor, Brown Pond delivers; if you're looking for a destination, keep driving.
