Black Pond sits in the Tupper Lake wild — 25 acres of undeveloped water with no recorded fish surveys and no trail infrastructure to speak of. This is the category of Adirondack pond that only shows up on a DeLorme map or a USGS quad: if you're here, you came in on purpose, probably bushwhacking from a logging road or following old hunter routes that aren't maintained for public traffic. The lack of data is the data — Black Pond is one of the Park's unmanaged, unmonitored waters where the only amenity is solitude. Expect wetland shoreline, blowdown, and the possibility you'll have it to yourself.
