Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Dishrag Pond is a four-acre pocket of water in the Blue Mountain Lake township — small enough that it likely holds more interest as a cartographic curiosity than a paddling or fishing destination. The name suggests old logging or settlement history, the kind of utilitarian nomenclature that marks ponds used for washing, watering, or temporary camp infrastructure before the Forest Preserve era. No fish stocking records on file, no formal access trail in the DEC inventory. If you're hunting it down, you're doing it for the name and the satisfaction of standing at a pond most people will never see.
