Round Pond is a three-acre pond in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it likely doesn't register on most trail maps, and without fish stocking records or designated access, it sits in that liminal category of named waters that exist more on paper than in practice. Ponds this size in the Tupper Lake area are often old beaver work or kettle depressions left by glacial melt, ringed by black spruce and tamarack, accessible only by bushwhack or private land. If you're hunting it down, confirm access and ownership first — the Tupper Lake Wild Forest has plenty of legitimate destinations, and a three-acre pond without a trail is usually three acres for a reason.
