Beaver River — the pond, not the river system — is a 4-acre patch of water in the Old Forge area, small enough that it likely sits tucked into second-growth forest off a local road or private land access. No fish data on record, which suggests either minimal pressure or minimal stocking history, and the name overlap with the actual Beaver River (which drains northwest out of Stillwater Reservoir) can make this one easy to confuse on older maps. Worth confirming access and ownership before planning a trip — many small "ponds" in the Old Forge corridor are either private or require navigating unmarked woods roads.
