Chaumont Pond.
Chaumont Pond is a 13-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to escape most attention, large enough to hold fish if they're there, though no species are on record with DEC surveys. The pond sits in working forest country where access typically means gated logging roads or private land, so confirming public entry before you bushwhack is the move. Waters this size in this part of the Park often connect to local knowledge more than trailhead signs — ask at bait shops or the ranger station in Tupper Lake if you're scouting it seriously. If it does have public shore access, it's the kind of spot where you'll have it to yourself on a Tuesday in June.
Chaumont Pond has public access. Summits nearby include Spruce Mountain and Rocky Mountain.
