Clear Pond — 85 acres northwest of Saranac Lake village — is one of those mid-sized Adirondack ponds that sits just off the main corridor, close enough to town that it gets some use but far enough that it doesn't draw crowds. No public fishing data on file, which usually means light angling pressure and unstocked water; worth a reconnaissance trip if you're working the ponds between Lower Saranac and the Saint Regis system. The pond is accessible, though access details shift with private holdings in this part of Franklin County — check with local outfitters or the DEC Ray Brook office for current put-in options. If you're paddling the region, Clear Pond makes a quiet alternate to the busier Saranac chain.
