Charley Pond is a 109-acre pond in the Long Lake township — one of those mid-sized waters that sits off the main recreational corridors and sees minimal pressure as a result. No fish species data on record, which typically means either unstocked native brookies or fishless — worth a call to the local DEC office if you're planning to wet a line. The pond is characteristic of the central Adirondack lowlands: forested shoreline, likely boggy in sections, and accessible by either private road or unmarked approach depending on which end you're coming from. Long Lake hamlet is the logical resupply base and starting point for recon.
