Hines Pond is a 19-acre water in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — small enough to stay off most paddlers' radar, large enough to hold interest for an afternoon if you're looking for quiet water away from the reservoir's motorboat traffic. No fish species data on record, which usually means either unstocked or not surveyed in recent years; worth a casting attempt if you're already there but don't plan a trip around it. Access details are thin — this is the kind of pond that either has a local dirt-road put-in or requires a bushwhack from a nearby trail system, and neither shows up in the standard DEC registers.
