Bridge Brook Pond.
Bridge Brook Pond spreads across 125 acres in the Tupper Lake region — a mid-sized water without the trail traffic or documented fishery that pulls attention to more accessible ponds in the area. The name suggests a feeder stream crossing, likely along one of the old logging corridors that web through this part of the northern Adirondacks, though public access details remain sparse in state records. No stocked species on file with DEC, which typically means either wild brookies in low density or a pond that doesn't hold fish through winter drawdown. Worth a look if you're already working nearby trailheads or paddling the Raquette drainage — but confirm access and conditions locally before committing the drive.
Bridge Brook Pond reaches a maximum depth of 25 feet, with a mean depth of 9 feet. Bridge Brook Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Haystack Mountain and Arab Mountain.
