Whackers Pond is a five-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it rarely shows up on standard lake surveys and anonymous enough that anglers pass it by for more documented fisheries. The name alone suggests old logging-era origins, likely a crew nickname that stuck when the maps were drawn. No fish data on file, no formal access noted, no established trails — this is the category of Adirondack pond that exists in the gap between recreational infrastructure and true bushwhacking, known mostly to hunters, trappers, and the occasional canoeist with good GPS and a tolerance for alder. If you're looking for it, start with the town clerk's office in Tupper Lake.
