Hall Pond is an 11-acre water tucked somewhere in the Old Forge township — one of dozens of small ponds scattered across the central Adirondack plateau that don't make the paddling guides or the DEC stocking reports. No public fisheries data on file, which usually means it's either unstocked, unmanaged, or both — though small forest ponds in this zone sometimes hold wild brookies if the inlet and outlet conditions are right. Access details are unclear; many ponds this size in the Old Forge area sit on private land or require local knowledge to reach. If you're hunting it down, check the town tax maps and knock on doors — or treat it as a winter bushwhack when the leaves are down and property lines are easier to read.
