Sweet Pond is a 13-acre patch of water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it doesn't draw crowds, remote enough that local knowledge matters more than guidebook mentions. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means native brookies if anything, or just a quiet place to paddle without worrying about the catching. The name suggests old logging-camp geography or a family homestead long reclaimed by second growth, the kind of nomenclature that sticks around on USGS quads after the clearings grow back in. Worth asking at a Tupper Lake outfitter or the local DEC office for current access — ponds this size often live behind gated logging roads or unmarked two-tracks that change status with land sales and easement updates.
