Round Pond.
Round Pond is a 22-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to paddle in an afternoon, remote enough that you won't share it with jet skis or bass boats. No fish species data on record, which typically means it's either unstocked or lightly surveyed brook trout habitat; bring a rod and keep expectations modest. The pond sits in working forest country, where access roads shift with logging cycles and the best route in is usually confirmed by local outfitters or the DEC Ray Brook office before you load the canoe. If you're camping nearby, it's a quiet exploratory paddle — not a destination water, but a reliable blank spot on the map.
Round Pond reaches a maximum depth of 24 feet, with a mean depth of 11 feet. Round Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Blue Mountain.
