Rock Pond spreads across 285 acres in the Long Lake township — a mid-sized water with enough surface to hold wind and chop, but still small enough to feel remote once you're on it. The lack of species data on file suggests either light fishing pressure or limited DEC survey work; if you're planning to wet a line, call the Region 5 office in Ray Brook for current stocking records or local intel. The pond sits in working forest land where access and usage patterns can shift with timber management and seasonal road conditions — confirm access routes before you load the canoe. Long Lake itself is the supply hub: gas, groceries, and the DEC ranger station five minutes from the village center.
