Hurricane Brook.
Hurricane Brook drains a small watershed west of Old Forge — a tributary system that feeds the broader Moose River drainage before it empties into the Fulton Chain. The name suggests either a blow-down event in the settlement era or the kind of quick-rising spring flood common to these steep, second-growth drainages. No public access data on file, no stocking records, no maintained trail crossings in the state GIS — which typically means either private inholdings or a headwater feeder worth knowing only if you're bushwhacking drainage corridors or tracing old logging roads on a topo. If you're looking for fishable water in the Old Forge area, the inlet streams to First through Eighth Lake are better bets.
