Smith Pond.
Smith Pond is an 11-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to stay off most anglers' radar, quiet enough to hold your attention if you're the type who prefers a pond you can walk around in an afternoon. No fish species data on record, which either means it hasn't been surveyed recently or it's holding brookies that no one's bothered to report. The surrounding forest is second-growth mixed hardwood and spruce, typical of the northern Adirondacks between the bigger recreation corridors — good for a paddle if you're based in Tupper and looking to get off the lake without driving an hour.
Smith Pond reaches a maximum depth of 57 feet, with a mean depth of 17 feet. Smith Pond has public access.
