Warner Pond.
Warner Pond sits in the Brant Lake area — 32 acres, wooded shoreline, low enough elevation that it holds its ice later into spring than the ponds up near Paradox Lake or Schroon. No fish data on file with DEC, which usually means limited angling pressure and limited access; if there's a trail in, it's local knowledge or an unmarked woods route from a nearby road. The pond sits outside the High Peaks and the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness, meaning it's part of the quieter, less-trafficked fabric of southern Warren County water — the kind of place you hear about from a neighbor, not a guidebook. Worth confirming access and ownership before heading in.
Warner Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Kipp Mountain and Meade Mountain.
