Loch Bonnie is a two-acre pond tucked into the Lake Placid township — small enough that it rarely appears on anything but the most detailed maps, and quiet enough that most visitors to the region never hear the name. The "Loch" suggests Scottish-influenced naming from the late 19th or early 20th century, when European placenames were in fashion across the Adirondacks, though the pond itself predates any romanticism. No fish species data on record, which typically means limited depth, heavy vegetation, or both — a place for dragonflies and wood frogs, not anglers. Worth tracking down if you're compiling a completist list of named waters in the Lake Placid corridor, but manage expectations accordingly.
