Little Black Creek drains a stretch of low country west of Old Forge — one of dozens of small tributaries that feed the Moose River or Black River watersheds depending on where you are in the system. The name shows up on USGS quads but not in most guidebooks; it's the kind of stream you cross on a woods road or notice from a culvert rather than seek out as a destination. No fish data on record, which likely means it's either small enough to be unmapped by DEC surveys or intermittent enough that stocking was never in the calculus. If you're paddling or fishing the Old Forge lakes and hear the name in passing, it's probably a local reference — not a marked trailhead.
