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 in the Lake George Wild Forest, a 6-acre water tucked off the beaten path and easy to overlook on a map crowded with bigger names. The lake is part of the quietly wooded uplands west of Lake George itself — more interior Adirondack forest than resort-corridor shoreline. No public boat launch, no known stocking records, no developed access — this is a bushwhack or old logging road proposition, and the kind of water that shows up in old USGS quad sheets but rarely in contemporary fishing reports. If you're after solitude and don't mind earning it, Third Lake delivers on the first half of that bargain.
