Cascade Reservoir Number 5 is one of several small impoundments in the Moose River drainage near Old Forge — working reservoirs built for flow control, not recreation. At 25 acres it's one of the smaller units in the chain, tucked into softwood flats west of the main corridor, the kind of water you pass on a forest road and file away as *possible canoe access if you know the landowner situation*. No fish data on record, no established public access, no reason to seek it out unless you're mapping the watershed or counting reservoirs. If you want a paddle near Old Forge, start with the Fulton Chain.
