L Pond.
L Pond is a 30-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — one of those named ponds that exists more as a cartographic footnote than a destination. No fish survey data on file, no established access trail in the DEC inventory, no lean-to or campsite designations — which usually means either private shoreline, difficult bushwhack approach, or both. Worth checking the county tax maps and a current topo before assuming you can get there; in this part of the park, a blue line on the map doesn't guarantee public access to the water.
L Pond reaches a maximum depth of 32 feet, with a mean depth of 7 feet. L Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Painter Mountain and Albert Marsh Hill.
