Third Pond is a small backcountry water in the High Peaks Wilderness, reached via the trail to Marcy Dam and then bushwhack. Minimal traffic, no maintained path to shore — it's mostly a navigation checkpoint for off-trail hikers heading deeper into the range.
Third Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Moose Mountain and Cheney Cobble.
