Chub Lake is a 45-acre water in the Raquette Lake township — small enough to stay off most paddlers' short lists, which is precisely the appeal. No formal fish surveys on record, but the lake sits in productive watershed country where brookies and perch tend to show up eventually. Access details are scarce in the public record, which usually means either a long carry from a seasonal road or a put-in that's known locally but not marked on the DEC map. If you're launching from Raquette Lake proper, Chub is one of the smaller satellites worth scouting by canoe when the main lake feels crowded.
