OK Slip Pond — 48 acres tucked into the Indian Lake township, a name that suggests old logging roads or surveyor shorthand but offers no ready explanation in the historical record. The pond sits off the main corridors, lacks formal trail access in DEC materials, and doesn't show up in stocking records — which typically means local knowledge, bushwhacking, or a forgotten tote road that may or may not still be passable. No fish data on file, no nearby peaks to anchor a day hike. If you know how to get in, you know; if you don't, this one stays quiet.
Ordway Pond is a 10-acre pocket water in the Indian Lake township — small enough to slip past most maps, remote enough that access details don't circulate widely. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means either wild brookies in low density or fishless altogether; ponds this size in this zone often hold beaver activity and seasonal depth swings that make for marginal habitat. The name suggests old settlement or logging-era presence — Ordway family holdings or a foreman's camp — but the historical record is thin. If you're headed in, expect bushwhack navigation and no formal trail infrastructure.
