Duck Pond is a 13-acre pond in the Saranac Lake region — small enough to be overlooked, but big enough to hold a canoe day if you find it. No fish species on record, which in Adirondack parlance usually means it's either too shallow for winter survival or too acidic for stocking, though local knowledge sometimes contradicts the official data. The name suggests old waterfowl hunting grounds or simply a pond where someone once shot a duck. Without public access details on file, this one stays in the "ask at the local shop" category.
