Tamarack Pond sits in the Raquette Lake township — a 16-acre pond in the wooded backcountry south of Blue Mountain Lake, far enough off the main corridors that it sees minimal traffic. No public record of fish stocking or species surveys, which usually means either wild brookies or nothing at all; local anglers will know. Access details are sparse in the official records, but ponds of this size in this region typically require either a bushwhack or a seasonal logging road approach — worth a call to the DEC Ray Brook office or a conversation at a Raquette Lake trailhead before you commit to the drive.
