Minnow Pond is a 17-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to slip past notice on most maps, large enough to hold a paddler's interest for an hour or two. The name suggests brook trout habitat, but no species data is on record; likely it's either unstocked and fished-out, or holding a modest population of wild brookies that never made it into DEC surveys. Without established trail access or nearby peaks, this is the kind of pond that rewards local knowledge — ask at a Tupper Lake bait shop or the town clerk's office for access details. Seventeen acres means you can see the whole thing from any point on the water.
