Greenwood Lake is a 12-acre backcountry pond in the Old Forge region — small enough to fish the perimeter in an afternoon, large enough to feel remote once you're in. No fish data on file with DEC, which either means it's unstocked and wild (possible brookies) or it winters out — check the local tackle shop or the Old Forge Visitor Center before you plan around the fishing. The lake sits off the main recreation corridors, so you won't be dodging pontoon boats or Jet Skis, but you also won't find much beta online. If you're headed in, bring a topo and a compass — and assume you're on your own.
