Pat Pond is a six-acre pocket water in the Schroon Lake region — small enough that it rarely appears on recreational radar, which also means it's rarely crowded. No fish stocking records and no formal trail access in the DEC inventory, so this is either private, landlocked by larger parcels, or reachable only by local knowledge and permission. If you're poking around the back roads east or west of Schroon Lake and see a name-signed pond this size, assume it's watched — worth a knock on a door before you launch anything.
Putnam Pond covers 220 acres in the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness with a state campground and boat launch on its shore. Trout and warm-water species; the pond serves as a put-in for paddlers exploring the connected backcountry ponds to the west.
