Snag Lake is a 12-acre pocket water in the Speculator region — small enough that it doesn't pull crowds, remote enough that access details stay local knowledge. The name suggests a history of blowdown or beaver work reshaping the shoreline, common in these mid-elevation waters where storm events and drainage patterns rewrite the landscape every few decades. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means either native brookies held on in the inlet streams or the lake went acidic and quiet sometime in the last century. Worth a stop if you're already in the area with a canoe and a taste for exploration.
