Ice Fishing

The Lowdown

Located near the famed Saranac Inn, Floodwood Pond is a favorite of locals in all seasons. A little more off the beaten path, Floodwood Pond will feel more remote than some other locations.

Fish Species

  • Northern Pike
  • Yellow Perch
  • Pumpkinseed

Water Type / Fishing Access

  • Ownership is public

Logistics / Directions

  • Located in Santa Clara
  • Public parking is available along Floodwood Road.
  • Access can also be had via snowmobile via the Remsen-Lake Placid travel corridor.

The Description

Floodwood Pond is just south of the St. Regis Canoe Area -- a wilderness area managed for its water resources. The relatively small, sheltered lakes freeze up well and offer great fishing. Floodwood Pond is one of the larger water bodies in this area, and while it is frequented by locals in all seasons, there are enough good fishing spots to be found that everyone will be happy.

Special Regulations

Always follow New York state fishing regulations and be sure to pick up a NYS Freshwater Fishing Guide at your local outfitters or regional NYSDEC office.
