Fly Pond

Fly Pond is a six-acre pocket water in the Old Forge township — small enough that it rarely appears on recreational radar, which is half the point of knowing it exists. No fish stocking records on file, no formal access infrastructure, and no nearby peak anchors to draw the hiking crowd. These micro-ponds in the Old Forge drainage tend to be snowmobile-season discoveries or local spots held by camp owners who know the woods between the bigger lakes. If you're poking around the back roads south or west of town with a canoe on the roof, Fly Pond is the kind of name worth a second look on the DeLorme.
