Lilypad Pond is a 15-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to feel private, large enough to paddle without immediately running out of shoreline. The name tells the seasonal story: by mid-July the surface is thick with lily pads, the kind of quiet, weedy habitat that bass and pickerel prefer, though no fish records are officially on file. Access details are scarce, which often means either private land or a bushwhack approach — worth confirming ownership and route before heading in. These smaller, unnamed-road ponds tend to reward the homework: less pressure, more solitude, and the occasional surprise of a put-in that locals have been using quietly for decades.
