Horseshoe Pond sits northwest of Tupper Lake village — a small, 16-acre water with no documented fishery and limited online mention, which typically means either private shoreline or a put-in that requires local knowledge to find. The name suggests the classic glacial scour shape common to ponds in this part of the Park, and the acreage puts it in canoe-and-float-tube range if access exists. Without a DEC stocking record or marked trailhead, this is one to ask about at the Tupper Lake tackle shops or the town clerk's office — the kind of spot that shows up on the map but lives mostly in the mental geography of year-round residents. If you locate access, bring a depth finder; small ponds this quiet sometimes hold panfish or perch that never made it into the state database.
