Hitchins Pond is a mid-sized water in the Tupper Lake township — 254 acres, set back from the main roads in a landscape of mixed forest and private holdings that defines much of the northwestern park. Without fish stocking records or maintained public access, it falls into that category of Adirondack ponds that exist more on the map than in the rotation of anglers and paddlers — visible from the air, traced on the DEC wetlands inventory, but quiet. The shoreline is a mix of wetland fingers and wooded banks; likely accessible by landowner permission or old logging routes, but not a destination with a trailhead sign. A placeholder water — named, counted, undramatized.
