Icehouse Pond sits just off NY-28 west of Raquette Lake village — eight acres of shallow water tucked into second-growth forest along the highway corridor. The name suggests a historical ice-cutting operation, likely serving one of the Great Camps or hotels that defined the Raquette Lake tourism economy in the late 1800s, though no structures remain visible from the road. No fish data on record, no formal trail access, and no nearby peaks — this is a roadside pond that serves more as a historical footnote than a paddling or fishing destination. If you're driving the southern Adirondack loop between Inlet and Blue Mountain Lake, it's the kind of water you pass without stopping.
