Flatfish Pond is a 112-acre mid-sized water in the Long Lake township — far enough off the main corridors that it doesn't pull weekend crowds, big enough to hold interest if you're willing to put in the effort to reach it. The name suggests the kind of shallow, marshy basin common to this part of the central Adirondacks, where ponds sit in old glacial bowls and wetlands blur the edges between open water and forest floor. No fish species on record, which likely means limited stocking history and minimal angling pressure — this is a paddle destination, not a fishing camp. Check with the Long Lake town office or local outfitters for current access; many ponds in this area are reached by unmarked woods roads or require a carry.
