Haymarsh Pond.
Haymarsh Pond is a six-acre pocket water in the Raquette Lake township — small enough that it rarely appears on recreation maps and isolated enough that casual paddlers won't stumble onto it from the main lake corridors. The name suggests beaver activity or wetland margins, and ponds this size in the Raquette drainage typically hold brook trout if they hold fish at all, though no species data is on file. Access details are scarce, which usually means either private land or a bushwhack approach through mixed hardwood and spruce lowlands. Worth investigating if you're already in the area with a topo map and patience for light exploration.
Haymarsh Pond reaches a maximum depth of 14 feet, with a mean depth of 9 feet. Haymarsh Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Bluff Point Hill.
