Echo Lake sits in the Old Forge township — a 105-acre water in a region dense with named ponds and lakes, where the exact Echo Lake you're looking for often depends on which side of the Moose River you started from. No fish species data on record, which typically means either private ownership with no stocking history or a pond that doesn't hold trout through the summer. The Old Forge area is more motorboat and resort-lake territory than backcountry, so if this is the Echo Lake off one of the local road networks, expect development on at least part of the shoreline. Confirm access and ownership before you load the canoe.
