Upper Feeder Pond.
Upper Feeder Pond is an 18-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — part of the drainage system that feeds south toward the lake itself. The name tells the story: this is working hydrology, not a destination pond, and it sits in quieter country east of the High Peaks corridor where the landscape flattens into mixed hardwood and the trail traffic thins out. No fish data on record, no maintained access that shows up on the standard DEC maps. If you're out here, you're likely threading your way through on a longer route or you've got a reason to be poking around the Paradox watershed — this isn't a trailhead-to-shoreline proposition.
Upper Feeder Pond reaches a maximum depth of 7 feet, with a mean depth of 2 feet. Upper Feeder Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Lock Mountain and Bald Peak.
