Tupper Lake is a village in Franklin County, New York, United States.

[2] The village is located within the boundaries of the Adirondack Park, west of Lake Placid.

The village was settled during the town's lumber production period and grew after it gained railroad service (see below).

The early village was composed of two parts, Tupper Lake proper and Faust.

The town, for a time, held the distinction as the top lumber producer in the state.

Tupper had its own department store and synagogue, and its sprawling railway yards, driven by the lumber trade, made it a hub for the surrounding Adirondack communities.

After a total lapse of service from 1981 through 2021, the Adirondack Railroad resumed tourist passenger service between Utica and Tupper Lake (108 miles (174 km)), its new northern terminus, by special train in fall 2022.

[4] Regularly scheduled passenger service over the entire route began in late spring 2023.

The Raquette River flows past the south side of the village, entering Tupper Lake/Raquette Pond.

During the winter months, the average annual extreme minimum air temperature is −27.4 °F (−33.0 °C).

[11] The plant hardiness zone is 4a, with an average annual extreme minimum air temperature of −27.4 °F (−33.0 °C).

In spring 2023 the Adirondack Railroad again began operating passenger trains from Utica, New York to Tupper Lake as its northern terminus.
