John Pond is a 30-acre backcountry pond reached via the Kings Flow trail system, with a lean-to and the historic John Pond grave site on the approach. Brook trout water, lightly fished.
Siamese Ponds are twin backcountry ponds totaling 75 acres in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, accessible via a 4.6-mile hike from the Eleventh Mountain trailhead. Two lean-tos sit along the shoreline; brook trout hold in both ponds, and the water stays quiet—no motor access, minimal day traffic.
