Long Pond Outlet.
Long Pond Outlet drains Long Pond northwest into the Raquette River watershed — one of dozens of small connector streams in the Tupper Lake Wild Forest that moves water through the low country between the central lakes and the river corridor. These outlets rarely get named on their own unless they hold brook trout or mark a portage route; this one shows up on the DEC inventory but carries no public fish or access records. If you're paddling Long Pond or working the Raquette upstream from Tupper, the outlet mouth is worth a look in spring or fall when brookies stage in moving water. Otherwise it's just plumbing — the kind of stream that holds the system together but never makes the itinerary.
Long Pond Outlet has public access. Summits nearby include Weller Mountain and County Line Mountain.
