Nate Pond is a 20-acre pond in the Indian Lake region — part of the broader southern Adirondack plateau where the terrain flattens out and the waters scatter across a mix of private land and state forest. No fish data on record, which often signals either marginal habitat or simply a pond that doesn't get enough pressure to show up in DEC surveys. Access details are sparse; many ponds in this drainage sit behind gates or require permission, so confirm access before planning a trip. The Indian Lake area tends to reward explorers willing to do the homework — this is old-growth country, not High Peaks traffic.
North Pond is a three-acre pocket water in the Indian Lake region — small enough that it likely stays off most paddlers' radar, though that's often the appeal of these sub-five-acre ponds tucked into the southern Adirondacks. No fish data on record, which either means it hasn't been surveyed in decades or it's too shallow and seasonal to hold trout through the summer. Without trail or access specifics to confirm, this is the kind of water that shows up on the topo map but may require local knowledge or a bushwhack to reach — worth a query at the Indian Lake town offices or the Hamilton County tourism desk if you're scouting new territory.
