Upper Cacner Pond is a two-acre pocket of water in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — small enough that it likely sees more moose than boats, and remote enough that finding reliable access information is half the challenge. The pond sits in the transitional zone between the southern Adirondacks and the working forests around the Sacandaga basin, where public and private land checker the map and old logging roads may or may not still connect. No fish species data on record, which either means nobody's surveyed it or nobody's bothered — both plausible for a pond this size in this corner of the Park. Worth a look if you're already in the area with a topo map and low expectations.
