  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Rollins Pond, 0.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at J P Stevens Pond before loading the car.
