Lapland Pond is an 8-acre pocket water in the Brant Lake region — small enough to hold no formal species record, quiet enough to stay off most fishing and paddling lists. The name suggests old Scandinavian settlement patterns common to this corner of Warren County, though the pond itself sits in second-growth forest with no obvious through-trails or maintained access points. Waters this size in the southern Adirondacks tend to be either private holdings or tucked into state forest with informal approaches; Lapland likely splits that difference. If you're poking around the back roads near Brant Lake proper and see the name on a topo, expect bushwhacking and check your property lines.
Lily Pond is a 52-acre water in the Brant Lake area — part of the patchwork of smaller ponds and lakes that fill the eastern Adirondack lowlands between the High Peaks and Lake George. The pond sits in a quieter stretch of Warren County, where the land flattens out and the summer homes thin, and the water is more about private shoreline than public access or designated trails. No fish species data on record, which usually means light stocking history or surveying gaps rather than an absence of fish. If you're driving through on NY-8 or Potash Hill Road, Lily Pond is the kind of name you'll pass on a blue sign and keep driving — unless you know someone with a dock.
Little Jabe Pond is a 9-acre pocket water in the Brant Lake region — small enough that it doesn't show up on most recreational maps, which means it stays off most itineraries. No fish stocking records and no trail infrastructure to speak of; if you're here, you likely wandered in from a nearby parcel or you're working a topo map and a compass. The pond sits in mixed hardwood forest typical of the eastern Adirondacks — less dramatic than the High Peaks corridor, more forgiving terrain, and the kind of place that rewards curiosity over destination planning. Expect shallow water, beaver activity, and solitude by default.
Long Pond sits in the Brant Lake region — a 32-acre water with no DEC fish stocking records and no developed public access points on file, which typically means private shoreline or walk-in-only entry via unmarked woods roads. Waters like this often hold wild brook trout or yellow perch that never see a creel census, but without confirmed access it's a local-knowledge spot at best. The Brant Lake area skews toward private camps and seasonal cottages, so if you're not tied to a camp lease or a landowner handshake, Long Pond stays off the list. Worth a knock on a door if you're in the area and committed to exploring every named water in the region.
