Bullhead Pond is a 25-acre kettle pond in the Indian Lake town corridor — tucked into the transition zone where the central Adirondacks flatten out toward the southern lakes. No formal trail data or fish stocking records in the DEC system, which usually means either private-adjacent access or a local knowledge walk-in that hasn't made it onto the state maps. The name suggests either the catfish family or the more common Adirondack pattern of naming ponds after their shoreline profile when viewed from a specific ridgeline. Worth a call to the Indian Lake town office or the local DEC ranger if you're trying to pin down access — sometimes these smaller waters have informal easements or legacy routes that predate the trail inventory.
