Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Oswego Pond is a 9-acre water tucked into the Old Forge township — small enough to be overlooked in a region dominated by the Fulton Chain and bigger paddle destinations, which is precisely its appeal. No fish stocking records on file, no marked trails leading in, no lean-tos — this is the kind of pond that shows up on a USGS map but rarely in a trip report. Access likely requires either permission across private land or a bushwhack from a nearby forest access point; worth the legwork if you're after solitude and don't need infrastructure. Bring a compass and the DEC's Old Forge quad if you're serious about finding it.
