Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Antediluvian Pond — 23 acres in the Long Lake township — carries one of the more memorable names in the Adirondack water inventory, though the access and fishing details remain thin in the record. The pond sits off the main corridor, outside the typical loop of paddling routes and trailhead networks that define the central Long Lake region. No fish species data on file with DEC, which usually means either unstocked and unsampled or too remote to justify the survey work. Worth a map check if you're plotting something deep in the Long Lake wild forest blocks — sometimes the best ponds are the ones without the backstory.
Arbutus Pond is a 121-acre water in the Long Lake township — large enough to hold some depth and structure, but off the main corridor and quiet for it. No fish data on record with DEC, which usually means either unstocked and unfished or holding wild brookies that nobody's bothered to survey; either way, it's not a destination fishery. The pond sits in mixed hardwood and conifer cover typical of the central Adirondacks — the kind of water that gets paddled by people staying nearby but rarely sought out from distance. Worth checking local access in Long Lake village; some township waters have informal launch points that aren't marked on the state maps.
