Racquette River — listed here as a 4-acre pond near Tupper Lake — is almost certainly a slack-water section or oxbow along the larger Racquette River system, which drains north from Blue Mountain Lake through Long Lake, Tupper Lake, and onward to the St. Regis watershed. The Racquette proper is a classic Adirondack paddle route with dozens of access points, lean-tos, and carry trails; this particular pond-sized segment may be a quiet eddy or upstream impoundment worth locating on a USGS quad if you're threading together multi-day river trips. No fish data on record, but the main Racquette holds northern pike, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch through most of its length. Check DEC access site listings for Tupper Lake or consult a paddling guidebook to pin down which stretch this refers to.
