BARNUM POND
(518) 483-3760
Route 30 South, Paul Smiths, New York 12970, Paul Smiths, New York12970
Shoreline Fishing: Shoreline fishing is limited from the access area, however there is a nice rock and additional areas to access shore from Route 30 on the north northeast side of the pond.
Boat access: Cartop boat access is the easiest, but a small boat with a trolling motor or a small outboard would work too. The deepest part of the lake is on the NE corner. There is not much room for a car to back in a boat without being in the line of traffic, be very careful. Aside from that the pond is very shallow with about a 10 foot max depth. Fish the weeds and grassy area on the southern shore for some of the better productive areas.
Fish Species: Brook trout, bullhead
Special Regulations: Always follow state fishing regulations and be sure to pick up a NYS Freshwater Fishing Guide at your local outfitters or regional NYSDEC office.
