Wing Pond.
Wing Pond is a 15-acre water tucked into the wooded hills around Brant Lake — quiet, lightly trafficked, and without the brook trout or public access infrastructure that would pull in casual traffic. No formal trails or DEC campsites on record, which typically means private shoreline or informal bushwhack-only entry — common for the smaller ponds scattered through the southeastern Adirondacks between Schroon Lake and Lake George. The name suggests old maps and local knowledge rather than guidebook fame. Best confirmed with Warren County tax maps or a conversation at the Brant Lake general store before you launch a canoe.
Wing Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Pole Hill and First Peak.
