Cincinnati Creek.
Cincinnati Creek flows through the Old Forge lowlands — one of dozens of small tributaries that drain the western fringe of the park into the Moose River corridor. No fish survey data on file, no formal trailhead, no lean-to — this is working Adirondack water, not destination water. The creek shows up on the DEC wetlands inventory and on USGS quads, but most paddlers and anglers pass through this drainage without ever learning its name. If you're poking around the Old Forge backcountry by canoe or on a bushwhack, you'll cross it — otherwise, it stays off the list.
