Midget Pond.
Midget Pond is a two-acre pocket of water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it likely sees more moose traffic than paddler traffic, and remote enough that if you're looking at it, you either stumbled onto it or you meant to be there. No fish data on record, which at this acreage usually means shallow, weedy, or both — the kind of pond that matters more to the watershed than to the angler. Worth noting if you're hunting vernal pools or doing wetland inventory work, otherwise a dot on the map that stays a dot.
Midget Pond reaches a maximum depth of 13 feet, with a mean depth of 8 feet. Midget Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Number 19 Mountain and Bog Mountain.
