Drunkard Pond sits off the Moose River Road corridor south of Old Forge — 12 acres of backcountry water in the low country west of the main tourist flow. The name alone marks it as one of the old logging-era ponds that dot this stretch of state land, where the forest history runs deeper than the recreation infrastructure. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means wild brookies or nothing at all — worth a cast if you're already in the area, but not a destination fishery. Access details are sparse; if you're hunting it down, start with the Moose River Plains Wild Forest maps and plan for bushwhacking or old jeep roads that may or may not still be passable.
