Egg Pond.
Egg Pond is a six-acre kettle in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it rarely shows up on recreational fishing reports, quiet enough that it holds its place as a local reference point rather than a destination. No formal trail system, no DEC-maintained access, no stocking records in the state database. These small waters tend to function as landmarks for hunters, trappers, and the occasional bushwhacker working between better-known ponds, and Egg follows that pattern — it's there, it's named, and it marks a spot on the map more than it draws a crowd.
Egg Pond reaches a maximum depth of 8 feet, with a mean depth of 3 feet. Egg Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Hamilton Mountain and Newton Hill.
