Beaver River — not to be confused with the larger Beaver River flow system that feeds Stillwater Reservoir — is a 14-acre pond tucked into the Old Forge working forest, the kind of small water that holds its name on the map but sees minimal foot traffic compared to the Fulton Chain or the bigger ponds off the Moose River Plains road network. No fish survey data on record, which often signals either limited public access or marginal habitat for stocked species — brook trout move through these backcountry drainages, but populations are transient and seasonal. The Old Forge area is laced with private timber company land and gated logging roads; if you're targeting this pond specifically, confirm access and road conditions at the Old Forge Visitor Center before heading out.
