Arbutus Pond is a 121-acre water in the Long Lake township — large enough to hold some depth and structure, but off the main corridor and quiet for it. No fish data on record with DEC, which usually means either unstocked and unfished or holding wild brookies that nobody's bothered to survey; either way, it's not a destination fishery. The pond sits in mixed hardwood and conifer cover typical of the central Adirondacks — the kind of water that gets paddled by people staying nearby but rarely sought out from distance. Worth checking local access in Long Lake village; some township waters have informal launch points that aren't marked on the state maps.
