Long Pond — 108 acres in the Long Lake township — sits in a cluster of smaller waters west of NY-30, the kind of pond that shows up on the DEC list but stays off most itineraries. No fish stocking records on file, no maintained trail marker on the map, no lean-to designation — which typically means local knowledge, a bushwhack, or a paddle-in from a connecting water. The name itself is common enough (a dozen Long Ponds scattered across the Park) that confirmation matters: this one anchors to the Long Lake region, distinct from the Long Pond near Newcomb or the one south of Tupper Lake. Worth a call to the Long Lake town office or the local DEC ranger if you're planning a visit.
