Thirtyfive Pond.
Thirtyfive Pond is an eight-acre backcountry water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it rarely appears on recreation lists but large enough to hold a shoreline worth exploring if you're already in the area. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means native brookies or nothing at all; the pond sits in working forest land where access depends on seasonal logging roads and whatever informal paths have been cut or maintained over time. This is the kind of water that rewards locals with a truck and a tolerance for unmapped routes — not a destination hike, but a quiet detour if you know where you're going. Confirm current access and ownership status before heading in.
Thirtyfive Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Whitney Pond Mountain.
