Long Pond.
Long Pond sits just outside Tupper Lake village — a 35-acre shallow-water pond with no formal trail access and no DEC records on fish populations, which usually means either private shoreline or a local-knowledge put-in that doesn't make the official listings. The name is common enough (there are at least eight Long Ponds in the Park) that this one tends to stay off the radar unless you're poking around the back roads north of town. Worth a phone call to a local tackle shop or the DEC Ray Brook office if you're trying to pin down access or whether it holds anything worth casting to.
Long Pond reaches a maximum depth of 9 feet, with a mean depth of 5 feet. Long Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Baldface Mountain and Littl Blue Mountain.
