Mud Pond is best fished in the northern inlet and southern outlet for trout and perch.

Fishing

The only decent shoreline fishing access is along the boat launch area; it is best fished from a boat.

The only boat access is via a 0.7 mile carry along dirt roads; there is no motorboat access. From the parking area return to the road and take a left onto the access road. Walk this for about 0.3 miles to a split in the road and three gates. Take a left and follow this forest road for the remaining 0.4 miles to the canoe carry for Mud Pond which will be on the left.

Fish species: Brook trout, rainbow trout, perch

How to get there

From the intersection of Route 28N and Route 30 in Long Lake follow Route 30 toward Tupper Lake. Continue through town and locate Kickerville Road on the right, about 0.6 miles past the bridge over Long Lake. Follow Kickerville Road to the stone building at the end. From here a dirt road passes to its right, this leads to the Cedarlands Boy Scout Camp. The road is marked as private but it is open to the public when the scouts are not in session. Drive down this dirt road for around 1-mile to the designated public parking on the left.

You can use the easement, lakes, and trails between August 23rd and June 23rd when the Scouts are not in session, and remember this is private land so please respect it.
