Lynus Vly is a four-acre pond tucked into the Great Sacandaga Lake basin — the kind of small water that doesn't draw crowds and doesn't appear on most recreation maps. The term *vly* (rhymes with "sly") is an old Dutch word for wetland or marsh, common in this part of the southern Adirondacks where glacial melt carved shallow, boggy ponds into the lowland forest. No fish species data on record, which typically means limited depth, soft bottom, and marginal habitat for trout or bass. Access details are sparse — plan on bushwhacking or local knowledge if you're set on finding it.
