Wohlfraths Pond.
Wohlfraths Pond is a one-acre pocket of water in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — small enough that it likely functions more as a wetland feature than a fishing or paddling destination, and remote enough that it carries a name but no public access infrastructure on record. Waters this size in the southern Adirondacks often sit on private land or exist as seasonal high-water basins connected to larger drainages; without fish data or trail references, this one reads as either landlocked by ownership or simply undeveloped. If you're hunting obscure named waters for completionist purposes, Wohlfraths qualifies — but expect to do your own reconnaissance on access and conditions.
