Pine Pond is a 16-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it doesn't draw crowds, large enough that it holds its own shape on a topo map. No fish species data on record, which usually means it's either unstocked and unsampled or too shallow and oxygen-poor to hold trout through the summer. The name suggests a quiet, tannin-stained pond ringed with white pine — the kind of water that stays off the launch-your-boat radar and keeps its secrets. Worth checking with the local DEC office in Ray Brook if you're planning a bushwhack; sometimes these smaller ponds have unmarked access or seasonal restrictions.
