Blue Pond is a 20-acre water in the Tupper Lake region with no public species data on file — which in Adirondack terms usually means either private access, minimal pressure, or both. The name suggests it's been around long enough to earn local usage, but without a documented trail or DEC designation it's not showing up on the standard loop. Waters this size in the Tupper Lake corridor sometimes hold brook trout or perch if they're connected to larger systems, but you'd need local knowledge or a knock on the right camp door to confirm. If you're researching it for a paddle or a fish, start with the Tupper Lake town clerk or a conversation at the boat launch — someone will know which Blue Pond you're after.
