Clear Pond is a 30-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that the name likely describes what you see, common enough that half the ponds in the park could claim it. No fish data on record, which either means it hasn't been surveyed in decades or it's too shallow, too acidic, or too tannic to hold anything worth catching. The kind of pond that shows up on a USGS quad, earns a pushpin on the map, and waits for someone with a canoe and a free afternoon to tell the rest of us what's actually there. If you know the access or the backstory, it's worth sharing — these quiet 30-acre ponds are often the best-kept secrets in the park.
