§ The Waters · Old Forge

Hurricane Brook.

Hurricane Brook threads through the Old Forge area — a working tributary in the Moose River drainage that carries snowmelt and summer rain through mixed hardwood and spruce flats toward the Fulton Chain. The name suggests old blowdown history, likely a heavy windthrow event that marked the corridor in logging-era memory, though the brook itself runs quiet most of the season. No formal access or trail designation on record — this is one of dozens of named streams in the region that appear on USGS quads but see minimal recreational traffic beyond the occasional bushwhack or hunting-season crossing. If you're after moving water with a name and a story, look to the Moose River main stem or the North Branch instead.
