Lake Andrew.
Lake Andrew is a 17-acre pond in the Long Lake town sprawl — one of the smaller named waters in a township defined by its namesake 14-mile lake and the string of ponds that connect it to the Raquette River corridor. No fish survey data on file with DEC, which usually means limited angler pressure and limited access, though the acreage suggests it's more than a beaver flow. Long Lake's quieter ponds tend to sit tucked behind private camps or require a put-in you need to know about; Lake Andrew fits that pattern. If you're poking around the back roads west of NY-30, it's worth a look — but confirm access before you haul a canoe.
Lake Andrew has public access. Summits nearby include Mount Andrew and Allen Mountain.
