Grass Pond is a 40-acre water in the Old Forge network — part of the sprawling Fulton Chain / Moose River region where ponds multiply and naming conventions sometimes feel like an afterthought. The pond sits in working wilderness: thick shoreline, beaver activity, and the kind of quiet you earn by putting in effort or knowing the right put-in. No fish survey data on file, which usually means limited angling pressure and a pond that's more about the paddle than the catch. Access details matter here — this is Old Forge backcountry, not a roadside pull-off.
