Fawn Lake is a 21-acre water tucked into the Raquette Lake township — small enough that it doesn't appear on most recreation maps, remote enough that it sees almost no pressure. Access details are scarce in the public record, which usually means old logging roads, private inholdings, or both; this is not a pond with a marked trailhead and a kiosk. No fish species data on file with DEC, which tracks with its size and isolation — if there are brookies here, they're small and incidental. Worth noting only if you're already deep in the Raquette Lake backcountry and cross-referencing old USGS quads.
