Grass Pond is a 10-acre water in the Saranac Lake region — small enough that it likely sees more moose than paddlers, and remote enough that access details aren't widely documented. The name suggests marshy shoreline and aquatic vegetation, the kind of pond that holds brook trout or sunfish but doesn't draw fishing pressure. Without established trails or lean-tos on record, this is a water for bushwhackers or locals who know the approach — not a destination pond, but the kind of place you stumble onto and have to yourself. No fish species data on file, which usually means either catch-and-release brookies or none at all.
