Frank Pond is a 26-acre water in the Indian Lake town limits — one of the smaller named ponds in the central Adirondacks that hasn't made it onto the stocked-water lists or the lean-to circuit. No fish species data on record, which usually means it's either too shallow to winter-over trout or it's simply off the DEC stocking rotation. The name suggests an old landowner or logger-camp association, common in this part of Hamilton County where most ponds carried a surname before they carried a reputation. Worth a look if you're already in the Indian Lake area and mapping out bushwhacks or solo paddles — just don't expect trail signs or a put-in with a name.
