HIKING & BACKPACKING from page 15
provides the best view I’ve ever
found of this pond. Graceful pines
sprout up from random points all
along Constable’s long shorelines.
Turning southeast on the Chub
Lake trail, you climb gently past a
wetland for 0.4-mile and arrive at
another T-intersection. This time
turn left onto the dead-end side
trail to Chub Lake’s highly attractive
campsite, located three miles
from Higby Road.
There are several reasons
to recommend this campsite:
there is space for several tents,
a well-sited fireplace, and ledge
with a view that is hard to argue
with. Chub Lake is a circular pond
with a protected brook trout fishery.
Once you reach this spot you
may find it hard to leave.
