Chub Lake

Chub Pond is a remote Adirondack Lake, located roughly 3 miles from Mill Creek Road, following an old woods road sometimes traveled by ATVs. The trail runs through several marshes and is relatively flat with several rather muddy sections. Chub Pond Lean-To #1 is one of most unique lean-tos in the Adirondacks, built and maintained by the Plumley Family in 1963 which uses it for hunting during the fall. http://www.protectadks.org/2014/09/a-forest-preserve-lean-to-on-chub-pond-in-the-black-river-wild-forest-area-has-been-extensively-modified-and-turned-into-a-private-camp/

Parking Area

For those who want to walk all the way to Remsen Falls, Bear Lake, or the 5.2 miles to Woodhull Lake. Honestly though, at least in the summer, the truck trail is well surfaced and gravel covered, and most vehicles should be able to make it back there, despite DEC warnings, suggesting "High Clearance Vehicles" only.
