Twin Ponds sits in the Indian Lake region — a 15-acre water without much public record, and likely split into two connected basins (hence the name). No fish stocking data on file, no marked trailhead in the DEC system, which usually means either private-land situation or deep-woods bushwhack territory. Worth noting: the Indian Lake Wild Forest holds dozens of small ponds like this one — named on the map, fished by locals who know the route in, invisible to the casual hiker. If you're working from a topo and a compass, bring a friend who's done it before.
