Coldspring Pond is a five-acre pocket water in the Lake Placid region — small enough that it rarely appears on recreation maps and quiet enough that most visitors to the area never register its name. No fish species on record, which typically means either it's too shallow to hold trout year-round or it's never been stocked and surveyed by DEC — common for ponds under ten acres in private or mixed-access watersheds. The name suggests a spring-fed source, and the "cold" prefix often correlates with clear water and a gravel or bedrock bottom. Worth confirming access status and ownership before planning a visit.
