Ingraham Pond.
Ingraham Pond lies northwest of Saranac Lake village — a 132-acre water that sits off the main tourism corridors and sees more local use than through-traffic. The pond's size suggests decent paddling range, and the acreage typically means seasonal fishing pressure even without species documentation on file. Access details aren't widely published, which usually means either private shoreline or a local-knowledge put-in that doesn't show up on the standard trail maps. Worth a call to a Saranac Lake outfitter or the Ray Brook DEC office if you're planning a trip — they'll know the current access situation and whether it's worth the effort.
Ingraham Pond reaches a maximum depth of 16 feet, with a mean depth of 12 feet. Ingraham Pond has public access. Summits nearby include West Mountain and East Mountain.
