Mink Pond is a 136-acre water in the southern Adirondacks near Indian Lake — large enough to paddle but off the main recreational corridor, which keeps it quiet even in summer. No fish stocking records on file, and no formal DEC access or maintained trail system documented, so this is likely private-access or bushwhack territory unless you know a local put-in. The acreage suggests decent open water for a canoe or kayak if you can get to it — southern Adirondack ponds of this size tend to have soft shorelines, shallow bays, and beaver activity rather than the rocky drama of the High Peaks zone. Worth a conversation with the Indian Lake town office or a local outfitter before you load the boat.
