Fuller Pond.
Fuller Pond is a 21-acre water in the Schroon Lake region — small enough to feel remote, large enough to justify the effort if you're looking for quiet. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means either wild brookies or nothing at all; worth a cast if you're already there, not worth the drive if you're chasing trout. The pond sits in that mid-Park zone where most visitors are passing through on their way to bigger water or higher trails — which is exactly why ponds like this stay empty. Access details are sparse; if you're hunting it down, check the DEC's most recent Schroon Lake unit map for unmarked approaches.
Fuller Pond has public access. Summits nearby include West Hill and Moxham Mountain.
