Clear Lake.
Clear Lake is one of several small waters carrying that name in the Tupper Lake region — a 40-acre pond tucked into the working forest grid northwest of the village. The lake sits in mixed ownership country, a zone where state Forest Preserve parcels alternate with private timber company land and legacy camps, so access and shoreline use depend on which parcel you're approaching from. No fish stocking records or survey data on file with DEC, which typically means limited angling pressure and whatever native brookies or transplant populations the watershed can sustain on its own. If you're planning a visit, start with the Tupper Lake town office or a local paddling shop for current access points and landowner permissions.
