Fishhole Pond is a 24-acre water in the Saranac Lake region — small enough to stay off most radar but large enough to hold fish, though current DEC records don't list what's swimming under the surface. The name suggests local fishing history, the kind of pond that shows up on hand-drawn maps and in conversations at the hardware store but not in guidebooks. No known formal access or maintained trails tie it to the public trail system, which typically means either private land surrounds it or it's reached by informal routes known to locals. Worth asking at a Saranac Lake fly shop or the DEC office in Ray Brook if you're serious about finding it.
