Lake Clear Outlet — despite the name — is a 99-acre pond northwest of Saranac Lake village, part of the Lake Clear drainage that feeds into the St. Regis River system. It sits in the low rolling country between the High Peaks corridor and the St. Regis Canoe Area, away from the granite drama but well within the working-forest character of the northern park. The outlet itself is the short connector stream between Lake Clear (to the south) and this pond, which then drains north toward the Upper St. Regis. No fish species data on file with DEC, but this drainage historically held warmwater species — bass, pike, perch — consistent with the slower, tea-colored waters of the northwest park.
