Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Valentine Pond sits in the Brant Lake region at 102 acres — large enough to justify a canoe or kayak but quiet enough to stay off the radar of most Adirondack road-trippers. The pond's name suggests old settlement ties, and the acreage puts it in that workable middle ground: too small for motorboat traffic, too big to cross quickly by paddle. No fish species data on record, which usually means local knowledge only or unstocked water that doesn't draw pressure. Access details are sparse, but ponds of this size in the Brant Lake area typically sit on private or town land with informal local use — worth a town hall inquiry if you're nearby.
