Ingraham Pond lies northwest of Saranac Lake village — a 132-acre water that sits off the main tourism corridors and sees more local use than through-traffic. The pond's size suggests decent paddling range, and the acreage typically means seasonal fishing pressure even without species documentation on file. Access details aren't widely published, which usually means either private shoreline or a local-knowledge put-in that doesn't show up on the standard trail maps. Worth a call to a Saranac Lake outfitter or the Ray Brook DEC office if you're planning a trip — they'll know the current access situation and whether it's worth the effort.
Inlet sits just off NY-3 between Saranac Lake village and Tupper Lake — a mid-sized pond tucked between the highway and the railroad corridor that runs parallel to it. At 94 acres it's large enough to hold water through summer but small enough that most paddlers pass it by for the bigger Saranac chain to the south or Upper Saranac to the west. The pond drains north into the Saranac River via a short outlet stream, putting it in the same watershed as the Lower Saranac Lake system despite sitting several miles downstream. No fish species on record, which usually means either limited access or limited interest — check local regs and DEC updates before dropping a line.
