Latham Pond is a nine-acre pocket water in the Long Lake township — small enough that it rarely shows up on regional recreation lists, quiet enough that it stays that way. No fish stocking records on file, no established trails marked on the DEC inventories, no lean-tos or formal access points in the surrounding state land databases. It's the kind of water that exists in the gaps between the mapped-and-managed spots — worth knowing about if you're already in the area and looking for stillness, but not a destination unto itself. Check the town or local outfitters for easement or informal access; some of these small ponds have old logging roads or shoreline permission that isn't advertised.
