Upper Dam Pond is a three-acre water in the Indian Lake township — small enough that it likely lives in the margin between named feature and local reference point. No fish species on record, no nearby peaks, no formal trailheads in the immediate catalog: this is either private, landlocked by surrounding parcels, or tucked into working forestland where access follows old logging roads rather than marked DEC trails. The name suggests historical infrastructure — a dam, a flowage, possibly tied to 19th-century timber operations when every creek in the central Adirondacks had a sluice or splash dam. Worth a call to the Indian Lake town office or a check of the DEC Region 5 Warrensburg office if you're chasing it down.
