Pilgrim Pond is a 12-acre water in the Raquette Lake township — small enough that it rarely appears on general Adirondack maps but large enough to hold its own basin and shoreline character. No fish stocking records on file, no maintained trails leading in, no lean-tos or campsites listed in the DEC inventory — this is either private-access water or remote enough that it functions as a cartographic placeholder rather than a paddling destination. If you're sorting through the dozens of minor ponds in the Raquette Lake drainage, cross-reference property maps before making plans.
