Every named reservoir in the Adirondack Park — flood-control basins, drinking-water sources, and the impoundments anchoring the southern watersheds.
Maylender Pond is a small 9-acre reservoir in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — part of the network of impoundments and side waters that define this corner of the southern Adirondacks. The pond sits away from the main lake basin, tucked into a quieter drainage where the crowds thin out and the fishing pressure drops. No formal species surveys on record, which typically means it's either managed for basic warmwater species or it's simply off the stocking rotation. Worth a look if you're exploring the backroads around the lake and want water that doesn't show up on the rental-cabin circuit.
Mead Reservoir sits on the eastern edge of Keene — a 66-acre impoundment that functions as municipal infrastructure first, recreation second. The water serves the town's supply system, which means access and use are controlled: no swimming, no motors, limited shore access. It's the kind of working reservoir that shows up on maps but rarely in trip reports — a flat-water paddle if you check local regs first, possibly fishable (though no species data on record), and more of a local resource than a destination. If you're planning a visit, start with the Keene town office for current access rules.
Mill Pond is a reservoir in the Adirondack region — precise location and management details vary by which Mill Pond is referenced, as several small impoundments share the name across the park. Access and fishing regulations depend on the specific body of water.
Moshier Reservoir is a 414-acre impoundment on the west slope of the Adirondacks, built in 1916 to regulate flow for downstream industry. Public access is limited — the shoreline is largely undeveloped and best reached by paddlers willing to navigate from the put-in on the northeast end.
