Waldron Pond is a two-acre pocket water in the Brant Lake region — small enough that it likely holds more interest as a landscape feature than a fishing or paddling destination. No species data on file, which typically means limited stocking history and whatever wild populations (if any) can sustain themselves in a pond this size. These small, off-the-radar waters tend to be either spring-fed gems with crystal water and native brookies or shallow, weedy basins that warm fast and freeze early. Worth checking a topo if you're exploring the area, but set expectations accordingly.
Warner Pond sits in the Brant Lake area — 32 acres, wooded shoreline, low enough elevation that it holds its ice later into spring than the ponds up near Paradox Lake or Schroon. No fish data on file with DEC, which usually means limited angling pressure and limited access; if there's a trail in, it's local knowledge or an unmarked woods route from a nearby road. The pond sits outside the High Peaks and the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness, meaning it's part of the quieter, less-trafficked fabric of southern Warren County water — the kind of place you hear about from a neighbor, not a guidebook. Worth confirming access and ownership before heading in.
Whortleberry Pond is a 49-acre pond in the Brant Lake region — one of the less-documented waters in the southeastern Adirondacks, where state land fragments into a patchwork of private shoreline and low-traffic backcountry. The name suggests old logging or berry-picking country, and the acreage puts it in that middle-zone category: too big to be a beaver meadow, too remote to show up on the casual paddler's list. Without fish data on file, it's likely a brook trout prospect or a warmwater nursery depending on depth and inlet flow. Access details are thin — worth a call to the local DEC office or a conversation at the Brant Lake General Store.
Wing Pond is a 15-acre water tucked into the wooded hills around Brant Lake — quiet, lightly trafficked, and without the brook trout or public access infrastructure that would pull in casual traffic. No formal trails or DEC campsites on record, which typically means private shoreline or informal bushwhack-only entry — common for the smaller ponds scattered through the southeastern Adirondacks between Schroon Lake and Lake George. The name suggests old maps and local knowledge rather than guidebook fame. Best confirmed with Warren County tax maps or a conversation at the Brant Lake general store before you launch a canoe.
Wolf Pond is a nine-acre pond in the Brant Lake region — small enough to hold no formal fish records and far enough from the High Peaks corridor to stay off most paddlers' radar. The pond sits in the southeastern Adirondacks where the landscape flattens into mixed hardwood and the lakes tend toward private shoreline rather than wild corridor. No confirmed public access or trail data on file, which in this part of the Park usually means it's ringed by private land or reachable only by local knowledge and permission. If you're camping nearby and see a local boat launch or dirt track, ask first.
