Floodwood Pond spreads across 230 acres in the Saranac Lakes Wild Forest northeast of Tupper Lake — a quiet paddling destination in a region better known for the crowded carry routes between Upper Saranac and the St. Regis Canoe Area. The pond sits in low-relief terrain with wetland margins and mixed hardwood shoreline; no dramatic peaks frame the view, but that's part of the appeal for paddlers who want hours on flat water without fighting wind or sharing space with motorboats. Access details vary depending on which section of shoreline you're aiming for — check the DEC unit map before you load the boat. No fish species data on file, which usually means it's been a long time since anyone bothered to cast a line here.
