Chaumont Pond is a nine-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough that it doesn't pull much traffic, and far enough from the High Peaks corridor that it stays off most touring itineraries. No fish records on file, which usually means either the pond has gone unstocked for decades or it's too shallow and weedy to hold trout through an Adirondack winter. The name is French, like much of the older nomenclature around Tupper and Saranac — likely tied to early logging-era camps or private leases that predate the Forest Preserve. Worth a look if you're already in the area and curious, but not a destination pond on its own.
