Schofield Pond is a 10-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — small enough to fish from shore if you can reach it, big enough to hold interest if the access is decent. No fish species on record, which in Adirondack terms usually means either unstocked and undersampled or too shallow to winter over anything but stunted brook trout. The Paradox Lake area runs quieter than the lake-district traffic to the north — more working forest, fewer trailhead signs, and ponds that show up on the DEC map but not always in the guidebooks. Worth a look if you're already in the area and inclined to explore off-list.
