I have been told the lake got its name from a strain of brooktrout that had particularly dark bellies. It is how it is labeled on the map and I know of no other name for the body of water, other than an even less accecptable one from older maps.
It is located in the Five Ponds Wilderness in the Western Adirondacks. The journey would entail 12 miles of lake paddling, 2 miles of trail carry and another 5 miles of bushwhacking. The only objective was to better acquaint with the territory around the lake.

If I we're going into this lake, I would be bringing my fly rod. Or some other type of fishing gear. Just to see the bellies on those squaretails. Should bring a well blackend frying pan also.
