Clear Pond is a 105-acre water in the Saranac Lake region — large enough to matter, quiet enough to stay off most itineraries. The pond sits outside the immediate orbit of the Saranac Lake Wild Forest's marquee destinations, which means it tends to hold its character even on busy summer weekends. No fish species data on file with DEC, which usually signals either unstocked water or a pond that doesn't pull survey attention — worth a scouting trip if you're working the area with a canoe and a topo map. Access details are scarce in the public record; local beta or a stop at a regional outfitter in Saranac Lake village will get you closer to the put-in.
