Saint Regis Pond is a 400-acre (1.6 km2) pond, the largest in the Saint Regis Canoe Area in the Adirondacks in northern New York state. It drains into the west branch of the St. Regis River. It is the centerpiece of the "Seven Carries" canoe route.
The pond is 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long. There are four small islands and several designated campsites. Saint Regis Pond can only be reached by one or more carries from other ponds in the Canoe Area; the shortest route is via a 0.6-mile (0.97 km) carry from Little Clear Pond after a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) paddle from the parking area on Floodwood Road.
Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or pond:
“A saint about to fall,
The stained flats of heaven hit and razed
To the kissed kite hems of his shawl....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“This pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice.... It indicates better than any water hereabouts the absolute progress of the season, being least affected by transient changes of temperature. A severe cold of a few days’ duration in March may very much retard the opening of the former ponds, while the temperature of Walden increases almost uninterruptedly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
