Weller Pond.
Weller Pond is a 71-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — big enough to paddle but small enough that you won't spend the day crossing it. No fish species on record, which usually means it's either heavily tannic, winter-kills, or simply hasn't been surveyed in decades; local anglers would know. The pond sits in the working forest zone rather than the High Peaks corridor, so expect a quieter experience and less foot traffic than the headline waters closer to Lake Placid or Saranac Lake. Access details are sparse in the DEC records — confirm put-in and parking locally before you drive.
Weller Pond reaches a maximum depth of 10 feet, with a mean depth of 5 feet. Weller Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Weller Mountain and Sharp Top Mountain.
