Long Pond.
Long Pond sits in the Tupper Lake Wild Forest — a 45-acre water in a region dense with ponds but light on published information. No fish stocking records on file, which in this part of the Park often means native brook trout or nothing at all. Access likely involves old logging roads or unmarked carries; the DEC Unit Management Plan is the starting point for anyone serious about fishing it. This is backcountry homework territory — not a trailhead-and-sign destination.
Long Pond reaches a maximum depth of 36 feet, with a mean depth of 11 feet. Long Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Huftle Hill.
