Little High Pond is a 14-acre water in the Raquette Lake region — small enough that it rarely shows up in conversation but big enough to hold your attention if you're the type who measures a good day by how few people you see. No fish data on record, which means either it's not stocked and doesn't hold wild populations, or it's simply too out-of-the-way for DEC survey work to prioritize. The name suggests elevation, and in this part of the Park that usually means either a ridge-top kettle pond or a glacial scoop above a larger drainage. Expect bushwhack or unmaintained trail access — this is Raquette Lake backcountry, not a trailhead-and-mileage kind of place.
