Egg Pond.
Egg Pond is a one-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it likely sits tucked in second-growth forest without formal trail access or DEC signage. Waters this size in the northwest Adirondacks tend to be old beaver work or glacial depressions, seasonal in depth, and more often reached by bushwhack or snowshoe than by maintained path. No fish species on record, which is typical for ponds under five acres without inlet streams to sustain populations through winter draw-down. If you know where it is, you're probably hunting, trapping, or exploring with a good topo map.
Egg Pond reaches a maximum depth of 4 feet, with a mean depth of 3 feet. Egg Pond has public access.
