Burntbridge Pond.
Burntbridge Pond is a 58-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — the name suggests old logging territory, common across this part of the northwestern park where fire and timber crews left their mark in place names and overgrown tote roads. Without maintained trail or public boat launch data on record, access likely runs through private land or requires local knowledge of unmapped put-ins. No fish species data in the DEC surveys, which typically means either limited stocking history or a pond that doesn't pull angler attention — worth a call to a Tupper Lake bait shop if you're serious about finding it.
Burntbridge Pond reaches a maximum depth of 5 feet, with a mean depth of 3 feet. Burntbridge Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Burnt Rock and Center Pond Mountain.
