Second Pond is a 49-acre water in the Indian Lake township — mid-sized by southern Adirondacks standards, large enough to hold fish but small enough that no one's mapped the public access in detail. The name suggests it's part of a chain or sits off a larger water, but documentation is thin: no recorded fish surveys, no marked trailheads in the DEC database, no lean-tos on the inventory. It's the kind of pond that shows up on USGS quads and property maps but not in guidebooks — likely private-access or remote enough that it flies under the recreational radar. Worth a closer look if you're working the Indian Lake blue lines with a topo and a sense of adventure.
