Whitney Pond.
Whitney Pond is an 8-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it doesn't show up on most recreation maps, quiet enough that it stays off most itineraries. No fish stocking records on file, no marked trails leading in, no lean-tos or designated campsites; this is the kind of water that exists primarily for the landowner, the local who knows the woods, or the canoeist willing to bushwhack from a nearby put-in. If you're looking at Whitney Pond, you're either lost or you know exactly why you're here.
Whitney Pond reaches a maximum depth of 6 feet, with a mean depth of 3 feet. Whitney Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Whitney Pond Mountain.
