Squirrel Pond is a 12-acre water in the Indian Lake township — one of the region's smaller named ponds, tucked into the working forest and private land patchwork south of the hamlet. No public access is documented, and no fish stocking records appear in the DEC database, which typically means either private holdings or landlocked state parcel with no maintained trail. The name suggests old survey or logging-era usage — Squirrel Brook drains north through the area, and several "Squirrel" features dot the southern Adirondacks where 19th-century trappers and timber crews left their mark. Check the latest DEC access atlas if you're working the area; otherwise this one stays on the map as a place name, not a destination.
