Dunk Pond is a 20-acre water in the Indian Lake township — small enough to hold no official fish stocking records, remote enough that most paddlers drive past without knowing it exists. The pond sits in the working forest west of NY-30, part of the patchwork of private timber company land and state holdings that defines the southern Adirondacks — access here depends on current easement arrangements and whatever seasonal logging roads happen to be passable. No maintained trails, no lean-tos, no peaks within striking distance — just a quiet pond in the woods that appears on the map and occasionally gets a canoe dropped in by someone who knows the back roads. Check with the Indian Lake town office or local outfitters for current access status before making the drive.
