Tripp Pond.
Tripp Pond sits in the southern Adirondacks near Brant Lake — a 50-acre water without much public record, which in this part of the park usually means private shoreline and limited access. The pond doesn't appear on the major trail networks or DEC access lists, and there's no fish stocking data in the state records — a pattern consistent with small private ponds that predate the Forest Preserve expansion. If you're looking for public fishing or paddling in this area, Brant Lake itself (one mile west) offers a state launch and documented largemouth and northern pike populations. Tripp shows up on the USGS quad, but expect to do your homework on access before making the drive.
Tripp Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Tripp Mountain and Chase Mountain.
