Osprey Bay is a 237-acre pond in the Tupper Lake region — large enough to feel open but quiet enough to stay off the standard lake-tour circuit. The name suggests good raptor habitat, and the acreage puts it in that middle zone between backcountry pond and developed lake: likely road-accessible or close to it, but without the shoreline build-out that defines the bigger Tupper Lake waters. No fish species on record in the DEC database, which either means limited stocking history or simply that anglers haven't been filing reports. Worth confirming access and current conditions with local contacts in Tupper Lake village before planning a trip.
