Buck Pond is an 11-acre water in the Saranac Lake region — small enough that it likely sees more local use than through-traffic, and the kind of pond that doesn't generate much fisheries data or formal DEC management. Without documented fish populations or maintained access points in the public record, it falls into that middle category of Adirondack ponds: named, mapped, but not programmed for heavy recreational use. If you're looking for it, check USGS quads and property boundaries — some of these smaller waters sit on mixed public-private land or require bushwhacking from nearby road or trail networks. Worth a look if you're already in the area and chasing completeness.
