Stonystep Pond

Stonystep Pond is a 7-acre pocket of water in the Indian Lake township — small enough that it doesn't register on most regional fishing or paddling lists, and remote enough that access details aren't widely documented. The name suggests old logging or trapping routes (stone steps laid across wet ground or stream crossings were common trail infrastructure in the 19th century), but without recorded fish species or maintained trail access, this is likely private, landlocked, or otherwise off the recreational grid. Worth noting only if you're doing title research or tracing old survey maps — not a destination for casual paddlers or anglers.
