Military Lake is a 19-acre water tucked into the Long Lake township — quiet, off the main corridors, and largely outside the standard hiking circuit. No fish records on file with DEC, which usually means either the lake doesn't hold trout or it's simply not stocked and not sampled. Access details are sparse: this is one of those waters that exists in the gaps between the trailhead system, likely reached by bushwhack or private road if at all. If you're mapping backcountry routes in the Long Lake area and come across it, expect solitude — and low odds of a established campsite or maintained path.
