Loon Pond sits just outside the hamlet of Long Lake — 106 acres tucked into the working forest south of the main village corridor. No formal fish stocking records and no designated campsites, which keeps it quieter than the named trout waters nearby; locals know it as a morning paddle or a place to drop a canoe when the wind picks up on Long Lake proper. Access details are scarce in DEC records, but ponds of this size in the Long Lake township typically connect to the broader trail and old-road network that threads through this part of the central Adirondacks. Worth a stop at the Long Lake town office or the hardware store for current put-in directions.
