Long Pond.
Long Pond sits northwest of Saranac Lake village — a 33-acre pond in a region dense with named waters but light on public information. No fish stocking records on file, no marked trails in the DEC inventory, and no nearby lean-tos or campsites in the usual registers. The pond likely sees local access and informal use, but without documented put-ins or maintained paths, it falls into that quiet category of Adirondack waters that exist on the map more than in the guidebooks. If you're planning a visit, start with the local DEC office or a Saranac Lake outfitter for current access intel.
Long Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Mulholland Hill and Cheney Hill.
