Marsh Pond.
Marsh Pond is a 3-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it lives up to its name, likely rimmed with wetland vegetation and shallow enough to warm quickly in summer. No fish stocking records on file, which typically means either marginal habitat or a pond that simply fell off the DEC rotation decades ago. Waters this size in the Tupper area often sit tucked between private parcels or logging roads, accessible but not advertised. If you're poking around dirt roads south or west of town and stumble onto it, expect lily pads, dragonflies, and the kind of quiet that comes with being too small to bother naming on most maps.
Marsh Pond reaches a maximum depth of 4 feet, with a mean depth of 4 feet. Marsh Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Albert Marsh Hill and Chapp Hill.
