Moody Pond is a 26-acre water tucked into the woods near Saranac Lake — small enough to stay off most touring circuits, large enough to hold its own shoreline character. No fish stocking records on file, which often means either native brookies that nobody's bothered to survey or a pond that winters too hard for consistent holdover. Access details are sparse in the DEC database, suggesting either private land complications or a bushwhack approach; worth checking the local ranger station or the Adirondack Chapter of the Nature Conservancy for current status. The name suggests either a temperamental water level or a 19th-century landowner with a disposition to match.
