Indian River

Indian River threads through the western edge of the Adirondack Park near Old Forge, draining a network of small ponds and wetlands before emptying into the Moose River. The water itself stays under the radar — no stocking records, no named fishing holes, no trailhead signage calling it out by name. It's the kind of stream that shows up as a blue line on the DEC map and a culvert under a back road, more hydrological fact than destination. If you're poking around the Old Forge backcountry by canoe or on foot, you'll cross it eventually — but you won't plan a trip around it.
