West Branch of the Saint Regis River.
West Branch of the Saint Regis River is listed as a pond — likely a widening or stillwater section of the river rather than a distinct basin — sitting somewhere in the network of wetlands and slow-moving channels west of the village of Tupper Lake. At 77 acres it's substantial enough to paddle, and if you can find access it's probably a quiet float through mixed forest and marsh grass, the kind of place where you're more likely to see a heron than another boat. No fish data on record, which either means no one's surveyed it formally or no one's bothered to file a catch report. Worth exploring if you're already on the Saint Regis drainage and looking for solitude beyond the more trafficked ponds to the north.
