Five Falls Reservoir

Five Falls Reservoir sits just north of Tupper Lake village — a 141-acre working reservoir formed by damming the Raquette River, part of the hydroelectric system that's shaped water flow through the region for over a century. The shoreline is a mix of wooded state land and private holdings; access details are sparse, and no fish species are formally recorded, which typically signals limited public use or stocking history. The reservoir connects to the broader Raquette River corridor, where paddlers moving between Tupper and points north occasionally encounter the impoundment. If you're fishing the Raquette system, this is a waypoint — not a destination.
