About This Access Site
Little Clear Pond is a scenic 373-acre water body located near Saranac Inn in Franklin County, New York. The public boat launch is situated off Fish Hatchery Road and is operated by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. This is an excellent destination for kayakers and canoeists seeking a peaceful paddling experience—the pond is strictly no-motorboat, making it ideal for quiet water recreation.
The pond offers good opportunities for exploration and wildlife viewing, with loons frequently spotted on the water. Paddlers can extend their adventures via short portages to nearby connected waters including Grass Pond and Saint Regis Pond, making this an attractive hub for multi-water expeditions in the Saranac Lakes region. The no-motors restriction and scenic setting make Little Clear Pond a prime destination for non-motorized boaters looking for a quieter alternative to busier regional lakes.
