Grass Pond is a two-acre pocket water in the Saranac Lake region — the kind of small, named feature that shows up on USGS quads but rarely in guidebooks. No fish stocking records on file, which typically means it's either too shallow to hold trout through winter or it's been off the DEC radar long enough that any brookies are purely wild holdovers. Waters this size in the Saranac Lake area tend to be tucked into mixed hardwood lowlands or spruce flats, accessed by old logging roads or unmarked footpaths if they're accessible at all. If you're looking for it, start with the DEC Unit Management Plan for the region — it'll clarify whether there's legal public access or if this one's landlocked by private parcels.
