The Stony Creek Ponds are a set of three ponds totaling 190 acres near Coreys, New York.[1] They are the source of Stony Creek, a roughly three-mile river that feeds the Raquette River.

The ponds are located at the south end of the Indian Carry, a historic portage from the south end of Upper Saranac Lake to points south.[2] The ponds are on the route of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, and were on the original route of the Adirondack Canoe Classic.[3] The northernmost pond was the site of the Hiawatha House, a popular tourist hotel from the 1880s to 1918.[4]
