Pine Mountain Pond is a 16-acre water in the southern Adirondacks near Indian Lake — small enough to fall off most radar but named on the USGS quad, which means it exists and someone cared enough to mark it. No fish stocking records on file, no formal trail register, no lean-to — the kind of pond you find by studying the topo and walking old logging roads until the forest opens up. These ponds tend to hold brook trout if they hold anything, but that's speculation until you wet a line. Best guess for access: look for old roads radiating south and west from NY-28 or NY-30 in the Indian Lake township and be prepared to bushwhack the last quarter-mile.
