Gordon Pond is a five-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it rarely shows up on recreational fishing reports, which may explain the absence of stocking or survey data in the DEC records. Waters this size in the Tupper Lake wild forest tend to be either old beaver work or glacial holdouts tucked into low ridges, accessible by unmarked routes or private roads rather than marked state trails. Without confirmed access or fish species, Gordon Pond sits in that category of named waters that exist more as landmarks on the map than as destinations — though that's exactly the profile that sometimes yields brook trout if you can get to it. Worth a scouting mission if you're local and curious; otherwise, it's a placeholder until someone files a trip report.
