Daggett Pond.
Daggett Pond sits in the southern Adirondacks near the Lake George Wild Forest — a 63-acre water that holds its place in the mid-sized pond category without the pressure of the bigger named lakes to the north. The pond doesn't show up on the standard fish stocking lists, which usually means native brookies or unverified holdover populations from decades past. Access details are sparse in the state records, which often signals either private-road complications or a put-in that locals know and the DEC hasn't formalized. If you're scouting it, start with the nearest Wild Forest trailhead and a good topo map.
Daggett Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Pond Mountain and Burch Mountain.
