Penny Pond.
Penny Pond is a one-acre pocket water in the Brant Lake region — small enough that it likely doesn't see much fishing pressure and may not sustain a year-round fish population. These micro-ponds in the southeastern Adirondacks often sit on private land or in mixed-use forest, accessible by local knowledge or old logging roads rather than marked DEC trails. Without species data or documented public access, this is more of a map notation than a destination — the kind of water you find by accident on a bushwhack or recognize from a property survey.
Penny Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Chase Mountain and Spruce Mountain.
