Simon Pond is a 659-acre body of water in the Tupper Lake region — substantial enough to matter on the map, quiet enough that most through-traffic misses it entirely. No fish species data on file with DEC, which usually means it's either been surveyed and came up empty, or it hasn't been prioritized for stocking — either way, assume you're paddling for the paddle, not the fishing. The size suggests decent exploration potential by canoe or kayak, and acreage like this in the Tupper Lake corridor often means old logging access or private inholdings rather than formal trailhead parking. Worth a closer look on a DeLorme if you're working the area and need flat water that isn't Lake Simond or Tupper Lake proper.
