Jones Pond is a 28-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to feel like a local spot, large enough to hold decent habitat in the bays and drop-offs. No fish species data on record, which suggests either minimal stocking history or simply a pond that hasn't been surveyed in recent decades; worth a reconnaissance trip with a canoe and a topographic map. The Tupper Lake Wild Forest holds dozens of ponds in this size range, many accessible by unmaintained logging roads or unmarked carry trails — Jones fits that pattern. If you're working through the lesser-known waters around Tupper, this is the kind of place you visit on a Tuesday in September when the loons have the lake to themselves.
