Bullhead Pond is a six-acre pocket water in the Lake George Wild Forest — small enough that it doesn't pull crowds, but named and mapped, which means it's on someone's list. No fish data on record, and with that surface area it's likely more frog chorus than angling destination. The name suggests either a stocked past (bullhead ponds were common mill-town put-and-takes in the 19th century) or simple description — bullhead catfish can survive in shallow, weedy basins where trout won't. Access and trail status would need verification with the local DEC ranger or the Wild Forest unit management plan.
