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/
