Lost Pond — 28 acres in the Tupper Lake region — is one of dozens of small waters in the northern Adirondacks that carry the "Lost" name, a label that tends to mean either genuinely remote or simply tucked off the main corridors. Without fish stocking records or established access noted in the DEC inventory, this is likely a put-in-work pond: bushwhack navigation, possible beaver flooding, and the kind of solitude that comes from being overlooked rather than hidden. The northern lakes region is laced with old logging roads and informal approaches; if you're serious about reaching Lost Pond, start with the DEC Unit Management Plan for the area and a compass bearing.
