Newport Pond is a 17-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — small enough that it likely sits tucked in the wooded low country east of the High Peaks, away from the trailhead traffic and the named summits. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means either private shoreline or a pond that doesn't hold oxygen through winter — common in shallow Adirondack waters that freeze deep and turn over hard in spring. The Paradox Lake basin is a patchwork of private land and unposted forest, so access here depends on where the shoreline falls and whether there's a visible path in from a nearby road. Worth a map check and a polite knock if you're hunting quiet water in the area.
