Lower Pit

Lower Pit is a two-acre pond in the Indian Lake region — small enough that it barely registers on most maps, and remote enough that it stays off the casual paddler's radar. No fish data on record, no maintained trails leading to the shoreline, and no nearby peaks to frame the view — this is backcountry water for orienteering types or hunters who know the drainage. The name suggests old quarry or logging history, but without a clear access point or a reason to bushwhack in, Lower Pit remains what it sounds like: a footnote pond in a township full of bigger, easier options. If you're already back there, you know why you came.
