Dippikill Pond.
Dippikill Pond is a 23-acre water tucked into the southeastern corner of the Adirondack Park, part of the Lake George Wild Forest complex where the park boundary begins to blur into private holdings and state forest. The name — likely derived from a Dutch or early settler term for a deep or hidden stream — hints at the pond's relative obscurity compared to the higher-profile lakes closer to Lake George village. No fish species data on file with DEC, which usually means either light stocking history or limited angler pressure worth recording. Access details are scarce in the public record; if you're planning a visit, confirm land status and trailhead location with the local ranger or land trust before heading in.
Dippikill Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Dippikill Mountain and Birch Mountain.
