Calfhead Pond is a two-acre pocket water in the Old Forge township — small enough that it likely holds more interest as a bushwhack destination or a named dot on the map than as a fishing or paddling objective. No fish stocking records on file, no formal trail access, no nearby campsite infrastructure — the kind of water that shows up in the DEC inventory but doesn't generate its own trip reports. If you're already in the area with a topo map and a tolerance for wet feet, it's there; otherwise, the nearby Fulton Chain and the bigger ponds south of Old Forge offer clearer reasons to stop. Worth confirming access and ownership before heading in.
