Little Sherman Pond is a 10-acre water tucked into the woods west of Schroon Lake village — small enough that it stays off most regional maps and quiet enough that you're likely fishing or paddling alone. No official state records on what swims here, which usually means native brookies or bass that wandered up from bigger water, but locals who know the access keep their reports to themselves. The pond sits in mixed hardwood and hemlock cover typical of the eastern Adirondacks — not dramatic terrain, but the kind of forested stillwater that rewards anyone willing to bushwhack or follow old logging traces. If you're looking for solitude within five miles of a grocery store, this is the template.
