Wolf Pond.
Wolf Pond is a nine-acre pond in the Brant Lake region — small enough to hold no formal fish records and far enough from the High Peaks corridor to stay off most paddlers' radar. The pond sits in the southeastern Adirondacks where the landscape flattens into mixed hardwood and the lakes tend toward private shoreline rather than wild corridor. No confirmed public access or trail data on file, which in this part of the Park usually means it's ringed by private land or reachable only by local knowledge and permission. If you're camping nearby and see a local boat launch or dirt track, ask first.
Wolf Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Swede Mountain and Beech Mountain.
