Graffenburg Reservoir is a six-acre impoundment tucked into the Old Forge working forest — one of those small engineered waters that shows up on USGS quads but rarely in conversation. No fish stocking records on file, no DEC boat launch, no established trail system pulling day-hikers off NY-28. It functions as watershed infrastructure, not recreation, and the shoreline access reflects that: private timber company land, gated roads, and the kind of shoreline that suggests you're better off pointing your canoe toward the Fulton Chain or Limekiln Lake instead. If you're mapping every named water in the park, you'll find it — but you won't find a reason to stay.
