Pine Pond.
Pine Pond is a 37-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — the kind of mid-sized pond that shows up on the quad map but doesn't announce itself from the road. No public access data on file, no fish stocking records, no trailhead signs pointing you there — which means it's either tucked onto private land or sitting in a quiet pocket of state forest that hasn't made it onto the short list of maintained destinations. Worth a look on the DEC's interactive mapper if you're hunting unmapped put-ins or scouting brook trout habitat in the Paradox drainage, but expect to do your own homework on access and current conditions.
Pine Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Bloody Mountain and Sweet Fern Hill.
