North Pond is a 26-acre water in the Schroon Lake region — part of the lower-elevation Adirondack terrain where the woods thin out and the roads web through private holdings and state forest in equal measure. No fish records on file, which usually means it's either unstocked, too shallow for trout survival, or accessible only through private land that never made it onto DEC survey routes. The name appears on USGS quads but not in most paddling guides — a common pattern for ponds that sit just outside the recreational corridor, claimed by locals or camp owners but unvisited by the through-hiking or canoe-camping crowd. If you're looking for solitude and aren't counting on launching a boat, this is the kind of water that delivers exactly that.
