Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Triangle Pond is a five-acre pocket tucked into the Paradox Lake region — small enough to miss on most maps, remote enough that access details stay local knowledge. No fish stocking records on file, no established trail system, no lean-to — this is the kind of water that shows up as a blue dot between better-known destinations and stays that way. The Paradox Lake area runs quieter than the Lake George or Schroon corridors to the south, and Triangle Pond holds that pattern: if you know where the put-in is, you probably heard about it at a bar or from someone's grandfather. Worth confirming access and ownership before bushwhacking in.
Trout Pond is an 8-acre pocket of water in the Paradox Lake region — small enough that it likely sees more moose than anglers, and remote enough that specifics on access and fish populations remain thin. The name suggests historical brook trout presence, but without current stocking records or angler reports, it's unclear whether the pond still holds fish or has gone acidic like many small Adirondack waters in this elevation range. These under-documented ponds often sit on private land or require bushwhacking through wetlands and blowdown — worth checking property boundaries and recent trail condition reports before committing to the hike.
Trout Pond is a six-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — small enough that it doesn't pull crowds, large enough that it holds its own as a destination rather than a puddle you pass on the way somewhere else. The name suggests historical stocking or natural brook trout population, though current fish data isn't on record — worth a cast if you're in the area with a rod. Access details are sparse in the public record, which usually means either private shoreline or a local-knowledge bushwhack; if you're targeting it, confirm access and ownership before you go. The Paradox Lake region sits in the eastern Adirondacks between Schroon Lake and the lake country near Ticonderoga — less trafficked than the High Peaks, more working landscape than wilderness corridor.
Tub Mill Pond sits in the Paradox Lake region — a 47-acre pond that holds its water in the eastern Adirondacks, where the terrain flattens out between the High Peaks and Lake Champlain. The name suggests old logging or mill infrastructure, common in this corner of the park where settlement predates the Forest Preserve by decades. No fish species data on record, which usually means either catch-and-release brook trout fishing or a pond that doesn't hold fish year-round — worth checking with the local DEC office if you're planning to wet a line. Access details are thin, but ponds this size in the Paradox region are typically reached by seasonal camp roads or unmarked foot trails from nearby state land.
Twin Ponds sits in the Paradox Lake region — a 9-acre pair that keeps a low profile in a corner of the Park better known for its larger named waters and the odd geology that gives the area its name. No fish stocking records on file, no nearby trailheads that put it on the standard hiking circuit. Access details are scarce, which usually means either private land complications or a bushwhack situation — worth confirming with the DEC Ray Brook office or the local town clerk before planning a trip. If you're already in the Paradox Lake area and looking for something off-menu, Twin Ponds is on the map; just do the homework first.
Twin Ponds sits in the Paradox Lake region — eight acres split into two small basins that likely share flow during high water but read as separate bodies most of the year. The ponds are typical of the mid-elevation plateau waters in this corner of the eastern Adirondacks: shallow, boggy margins, surrounded by mixed hardwood and softwood, more beaver sign than human traffic. No fish stocking records and no maintained trail access means this is a bushwhack destination or a local spot known by camp owners and hunters working the surrounding state land. If you're coming in, bring a map and a compass — and expect to share the shoreline with moose tracks.
