Fish Pond is a one-acre pocket water in the Indian Lake township — small enough that it likely sees more moose than anglers, and remote enough that it's either a bushwhack or a forgotten spur off a logging road network that may or may not still be passable. No fish species data on record, which in the southern Adirondacks often means it winters out or never had a stocking history to begin with. If you're looking for this one, confirm access and ownership before you go — many small ponds in this zone sit on private timber company land or require navigating gated roads.
Frank Pond is a 26-acre water in the Indian Lake town limits — one of the smaller named ponds in the central Adirondacks that hasn't made it onto the stocked-water lists or the lean-to circuit. No fish species data on record, which usually means it's either too shallow to winter-over trout or it's simply off the DEC stocking rotation. The name suggests an old landowner or logger-camp association, common in this part of Hamilton County where most ponds carried a surname before they carried a reputation. Worth a look if you're already in the Indian Lake area and mapping out bushwhacks or solo paddles — just don't expect trail signs or a put-in with a name.
