Bullpout Pond.
Bullpout Pond is a 13-acre water tucked into the Paradox Lake region — small enough to hold no formal fish stocking records and remote enough to stay off the day-tripper circuit. The name suggests a history of bullhead catfish (bullpout in local usage), though without current species data it's unclear what swims here now. Waters this size in the Paradox drainage typically see light pressure from anglers willing to bushwhack or paddle-and-portage for solitude. Access details are scarce; if you're headed in, confirm the route with DEC or local outfitters before committing the day.
Bullpout Pond reaches a maximum depth of 7 feet, with a mean depth of 3 feet. Bullpout Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Spar Bed Hill and Bald Peak.
