Every named lake, pond, river, and stream worth fishing in the Adirondack Park — with the species you'll find, the access you can count on, and the regions they sit in.
Third Lake sits on the southern edge of the Great Sacandaga basin — a 55-acre water with no public access record and no fish stocking data in the DEC files. The name suggests it's part of a numbered chain (First, Second, Third), a common naming pattern in old timber-era maps, but current topo shows it landlocked by private parcels with no marked trailhead or put-in. If you're sorting Great Sacandaga area waters for paddling or fishing, this one stays off the list unless you know a landowner. Move north to Canada Lake or west to the public shoreline along NY-30 for guaranteed access.
