Thurber Pond is a 30-acre water in the Lake George region — small enough to stay off the radar, large enough to feel like more than a roadside puddle. No fish species data on record, which usually means it's either too shallow for stocking programs or it holds native brook trout that nobody's bothered to survey. The name suggests old timber-era use (Thurber was a common surname among 19th-century logging foremen in Warren County), but beyond that the pond keeps its secrets. Best approach: check the DEC Lake George Wild Forest unit map for access routes — most ponds in this district connect to the trail system via unmarked woods roads or seasonal foot traffic.
