Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Knob Pond is a 34-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — far enough off the main tourist loops to stay quiet, small enough that most paddlers never hear the name. No fish species on record, which either means the DEC hasn't surveyed it recently or the pond doesn't hold much beyond bait-sized brookies and transient bass. The lack of nearby peaks or formal trail infrastructure suggests this is more of a local access point than a destination hike — worth checking if you're already in the area and curious, not worth the drive from Lake George. Confirm access before you go; many smaller ponds in this region sit on mixed ownership with limited or seasonal entry.
Kumph Pond is two acres of obscure water in the Paradox Lake region — small enough that it doesn't register on most recreation maps and remote enough that most locals would need a moment to place it. No fish species on record, no designated campsites, no formal trail access in the state database — this is the kind of pond you find by accident while bushwhacking or by intention if you're working through every named water in the Park. The Paradox Lake area runs lean on trails compared to the High Peaks, so Kumph sits in that middle-distance backcountry where a topo map and a compass still earn their weight.
