Curtis Pond is a 20-acre water in the Tupper Lake township — one of dozens of small ponds scattered through the working forest west of Tupper Lake village, most of them accessed by private logging roads or unmaintained routes that shift with active timber management. The state owns no formal public access point, which keeps the pond off most paddlers' lists and limits use to locals who know the current road conditions and landowner arrangements. No fish stocking records and no angler reports in the DEC database — it may hold native brookies, or it may be too shallow and warm to winter fish at all. If you're hunting for Curtis Pond specifically, call the Tupper Lake town office or stop at Raquette River Outfitters; access status here changes with harvest cycles and posted-land boundaries.
