Little Chief Pond is a six-acre water tucked somewhere in the Raquette Lake township — small enough that it rarely pulls focus from the bigger names in the area, and remote enough that it doesn't show up on the standard paddling or fishing circuits. No fish species data on record, which usually means it's either unstocked, prone to winterkill, or simply hasn't been surveyed in decades. The name suggests old mapping convention or a long-gone local reference, but the pond itself stays quiet — the kind of water you'd stumble across on a bushwhack or find noted in the margins of a vintage USGS quad. Worth confirming access and ownership before planning a visit.
