Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Ash Craft Pond is a 23-acre water tucked into the Keene Valley backcountry — small enough to stay off most hiking itineraries, large enough to hold its own quiet. No fish stocking records on file, which typically means wild brookies or nothing at all; local anglers know which. The pond sits in that middle distance where casual day-trippers thin out and the overnight crowd hasn't quite arrived — the kind of water that rewards anyone willing to work past the roadside destinations. Worth confirming access and current trail conditions with the DEC Ray Brook office before committing to the approach.
