Figure Eight Pond.

Figure Eight Pond sits in the Saranac Lake region — a 15-acre water whose name suggests the shape but whose access and use patterns remain undocumented in the standard trail registers and DEC records. No fish stocking data on file, which typically means either private holdings on the shoreline or a pond that's seen enough natural acidification or winter oxygen depletion to discourage both stocking efforts and angling pressure. The Saranac Lake region holds dozens of these smaller named waters tucked between the more trafficked routes — ponds that appear on the topo maps but rarely in the trip reports. Worth checking local outfitters or the town clerk's office for access details if you're prospecting new water.
