Warrens Pond.
Warrens Pond is a 10-acre water in the Schroon Lake region — small enough to be overlooked, big enough to hold a quiet afternoon if you find it. No fish data on record, no designated access or nearby peaks to pull hikers off the main corridors, which likely means private shoreline or minimal public footprint. These mid-sized ponds scattered through the Schroon Lake township tend to sit tucked in mixed forest between larger named waters — local knowledge spots, camp-access ponds, or simply waters that never made it onto the DEC stocking rotation. If you're working the region, it's worth a map check to see what connects.
Warrens Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Cobble Hill and Hayes Mountain.
