Cincinnati Creek.
Cincinnati Creek drains a small watershed in the Old Forge township — one of dozens of named tributaries feeding the Moose River drainage in this part of the southwestern Adirondacks. No public access data or fisheries records on file, which usually means either private-land headwaters or a seasonal flow corridor tucked into working forest. The name hints at 19th-century settlement or logging-era nomenclature, common in this corner of the park where most streams carried a surveyor's label or a camp boss's hometown. Worth a map check if you're piecing together the hydrology between Old Forge and the Fulton Chain.
