Every named lake, pond, river, and stream worth fishing in the Adirondack Park — with the species you'll find, the access you can count on, and the regions they sit in.
Moon Lake is a 12-acre pond in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to paddle in an afternoon, large enough to feel like its own destination. No fish data on file with DEC, which usually means unmaintained access and light fishing pressure, or it means the pond holds brookies that nobody's bothered to survey. The name suggests old logging-camp or surveyor's nomenclature, common in the working forests west of the High Peaks where ponds were named for function or whimsy rather than geography. If you're headed this way, confirm access and ownership with the local ranger — many small waters in this zone sit on mixed public-private parcels with seasonal or gated roads.
