Every named pond in the Adirondack Park — quiet waters, lean-to destinations, swimming holes. Browse by region or jump to a name.
Rob Pond is a 21-acre water tucked into the Long Lake township — small enough to stay off most paddlers' radar, quiet enough to feel like you found it yourself. No fish species on record, which in Adirondack terms usually means it was stocked decades ago and hasn't been revisited, or it's a shallow basin that winters hard. The Long Lake area is laced with old logging roads and unmapped access points; local knowledge matters here more than DEC signage. Worth a call to the Long Lake town office or the Hamilton County tourism desk if you're chasing solitude and don't mind a pond that fishes like a maybe.
Robinson Pond is a 14-acre pocket water in the Long Lake township — small enough that it doesn't appear on most recreational radar, which means it holds value as exactly that: a quiet water in a region defined by larger, busier destinations. No fish stocking records on file, no formal trail designation, no DEC lean-to — the kind of place that gets fished by someone who already knows it's there. Access details are local knowledge; if you're asking around Long Lake village, someone at the hardware store or the marina will give you better directions than any map. This is Adirondack filler habitat: not every pond is a destination, and not every destination needs to be.
Rock Pond spreads across 285 acres in the Long Lake township — a mid-sized water with enough surface to hold wind and chop, but still small enough to feel remote once you're on it. The lack of species data on file suggests either light fishing pressure or limited DEC survey work; if you're planning to wet a line, call the Region 5 office in Ray Brook for current stocking records or local intel. The pond sits in working forest land where access and usage patterns can shift with timber management and seasonal road conditions — confirm access routes before you load the canoe. Long Lake itself is the supply hub: gas, groceries, and the DEC ranger station five minutes from the village center.
