Little Pond.
Little Pond — 31 acres, tucked somewhere in the Lake George region — is one of those named waters that exists more on the survey map than in the collective hiking memory. No fish stocking records, no trailhead chatter, no lean-to or campsite in the DEC inventory. It may be landlocked by private holdings, or it may simply sit in a drainage with better options nearby; either way, it's off the short list. If you know where it is and how to reach it legally, you're working from local knowledge or older property lines — not from a marked trail or a blue DEC disc.
Little Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Little Mountain and Crane Mountain.
