Eagle Pond — 41 acres northwest of Saranac Lake village — is one of those mid-sized waters that doesn't announce itself from the road and doesn't appear on most paddling itineraries, which keeps it quiet even in July. The shoreline is mostly wooded and undeveloped, with private parcels mixed in; access details vary depending on which end of the pond you approach from. No fish species data on file with DEC, which usually means either unstocked and unsampled or locals who know aren't talking. If you're already in the area and looking for a calm-water paddle away from Lower Saranac's weekend traffic, it's worth the detour.
