Little Tupper Lake is a 2,300-acre lake located in the town of Long Lake, Hamilton County, New York by Whitney Headquarters, New York. It is located in the 19,500-acre William C. Whitney Wilderness Area.[3]

Of the 100 largest lakes in the park, it is one of only five which are free of motorboats, jetskis, and floatplanes, including Lows, Lake Lila, Round, and Saint Regis Pond.[4]

Fish species present in the lake are bass and sunfish; until 2000 it was stocked with a heritage species of brook trout. There is hand launch available at Whitney Headquarters.[5]
