About Tupper Lake
Big Tupper Lake is a natural lake found in the Adirondack region of upstate New York. The 3,850-acre lake was formed from the Raquette River glacier basin as more water was drained into the bogs. In the late 18th century, Europeans came to the lake area to harvest wood.
The lake was named after surveyor Ansel Norton Tupper, who sadly drowned while fishing in the lake. The seaside village of Altamont has been renamed "Tupper" to ensure their loss will never be forgotten.
In fact, many nearby lakes encourage visitors to Adirondacks Park to swim, boate, fish, and observe nature. In order to distinguish the lake from a much smaller body of water nearby, also called Tupper Lake, it is called "Big Tuppers Lake" in New York.
For people who consider it a lake, the description of its size varies between 3,850 hectares and more than 10,000 hectares. Over a length of 9 miles, Big Tupper Lake covers a total area of about 1,500 hectares, which is largely considered a separate lake.
The New York Department of Environmental Protection considers the two ponds and bays to be separate lakes and lists Tupper Lake as a low number. It is underdeveloped and is accepted as an open lake with a maximum depth of about 1,500 hectares, but only an area of 2,000 hectares has been specified.
Most private cottages are located on the south shore near the village of Tupper, but many of the large islands in the lake are largely undeveloped, and few cottages and lodges are located in remote areas elsewhere. The lake is located within Adirondack Park, which is roughly defined by the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
The city park is located in Raquette Pond Bay and has several jetties. Access is easy via scenic Route 30, which is located between the town of Tupper Lake and the town of Tompkinsville on the north shore of the lake.
