Route Guidance
Trail Overview
Chub Pond is a quiet backcountry pond destination in the Black River Wild Forest. The Chub Pond Trail runs from the Bear Creek Parking Area area to Chub Pond, where the trail splits and both ends lead toward lean-tos on opposite sides of the lake. The destination fits hikers looking for a wooded approach, wildlife potential, shoreline camping context, and a more secluded pond experience. The page focuses on the pond, lean-to access, and forest-trail feel, while avoiding overconfidence on the exact round-trip metric until the route layer is reconciled.
