Evergreen Lake is a 54-acre body of water in the Old Forge area — part of the Fulton Chain corridor that threads through the western Adirondacks between the Moose River Plains and the Black River Wild Forest. The lake sits in mixed-growth forest typical of the region's lower-elevation waters, where private camps and public access coexist in the Old Forge tradition of motorboat traffic, fishing launches, and seasonal use. No fish species data on file with DEC, which either means the lake hasn't been surveyed recently or it's been managed privately — common in this part of the park. Old Forge itself is the staging ground: outfitters, lodging, and the Fulton Chain put-ins all within a few miles.
