Clear Pond Inlet

Clear Pond Inlet is the unnamed feeder stream connecting Clear Pond to Paradox Lake — a short, low-gradient run through the wooded corridor between the two waters in the Paradox Lake Wild Forest. It's the kind of seasonal connector that moves quietly in spring and early summer, then drops to a trickle by August, more marsh than stream in dry years. No formal trails track the inlet, and the shorelines are thick with alder and black spruce — better approached by boat from either end than bushwhacked from the road. If you're paddling Paradox Lake and looking for the inlet mouth, aim for the northwest corner of the lake where the shoreline flattens and the water shallows.
