Lost Pond is a 30-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — quiet country east of I-87, where the ridgelines flatten and the paddling culture tilts toward canoes and family camps rather than trail miles. No fish data on file with DEC, which often signals limited access or marginal habitat, but ponds this size in the Paradox drainage tend to hold warmwater species if they're thermally suited. The name suggests either an old surveyor's note or the kind of local shorthand that sticks when a pond sits back from the road and doesn't make it onto the summer circuit. Worth checking county tax maps or the Paradox Lake Association for access intel if you're exploring the area.
