Long Pond (Hamilton County, New York)

Long Pond is a lake located in Hamilton County, New York, within the Adirondack Park. It is situated in the town of Long Lake. The pond is known for its relatively undeveloped shoreline, characteristic of the Adirondack region, and its popularity for recreational activities like fishing, kayaking, and canoeing.

The pond drains into the Raquette River, which eventually flows into the St. Lawrence River. The surrounding area is primarily forested, consisting of typical Adirondack vegetation. Access to Long Pond is generally limited, contributing to its preserved natural state. Specific fish species inhabiting the pond may vary, but often include brook trout, lake trout, and various panfish species. Regulations regarding fishing are governed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).
