Crandall Pond.
Crandall Pond is a two-acre pocket of water in the Lake George region — small enough that it rarely shows up on general recreational maps and likely functions more as a local feature than a fishing or paddling destination. No fish species data on record, which usually means either the pond hasn't been surveyed in decades or it doesn't hold a reliable trout population worth stocking. Without curated access points or nearby trail infrastructure, this is the kind of water you'd encounter while bushwhacking property lines or scanning old USGS quads — present on paper, quiet in practice.
Crandall Pond has public access.
