Higley Flow.
Higley Flow is a 24-acre pond in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to feel intimate, large enough to paddle without circling back every ten minutes. The name suggests dam or beaver work at some point, but the current state is what matters: it's off the main corridor, which means you're not sharing the water with a parade of day-trippers from Lake Placid. No fish data on record, so if you're going in with a rod, you're scouting. Best bet is to ask at a local shop in Tupper Lake before you drive out — someone will know if it's worth the gas.
