Corner Pond.
Corner Pond is a three-acre pocket tucked into the Long Lake township — small enough that it won't appear on most road atlases and remote enough that casual access information is scarce. No fish species data on file, which in the deeper backcountry often means either unstocked or unsampled rather than barren; brook trout move into these small waters opportunistically after high-water years. The name suggests either a surveyor's landmark or a position relative to a larger water or property line — context that's gone quiet in the local record. Worth asking at the Long Lake town office or the local DEC if you're serious about finding it.
Corner Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Moose Pond Mountain and Owls Head Mountain.
