Triangle Pond.
Triangle Pond is a five-acre pocket tucked into the Paradox Lake region — small enough to miss on most maps, remote enough that access details stay local knowledge. No fish stocking records on file, no established trail system, no lean-to — this is the kind of water that shows up as a blue dot between better-known destinations and stays that way. The Paradox Lake area runs quieter than the Lake George or Schroon corridors to the south, and Triangle Pond holds that pattern: if you know where the put-in is, you probably heard about it at a bar or from someone's grandfather. Worth confirming access and ownership before bushwhacking in.
Triangle Pond reaches a maximum depth of 14 feet, with a mean depth of 8 feet. Triangle Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Greenough Mountain and Catamount Mountain.
