Dodge Pond is a 14-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake town corridor — small enough that most paddlers motor past it without a second look, which is exactly its appeal. No formal access points, no maintained trails, no DEC lean-tos or campsites — this is old-growth-forest stillwater that rewards locals who know the logging roads and bushwhack routes. The pond sits in working forestland, which means access and conditions shift with timber operations and private easements; ask at a Tupper Lake outfitter before heading in. No fish surveys on record, but ponds this size and this remote in the northwest corner usually hold brookies if they hold anything at all.
