Little Salmon Lake is a 33-acre pond tucked into the Old Forge working forest — one of the smaller named waters in a region better known for the Fulton Chain and its string of lake towns. No public launch, no DEC signage, no fish stocking records on file — this is private-access territory, likely hemmed in by club property or timberland parcels that predate the Forest Preserve. If you're paddling the Fulton Chain or poking around the back roads between Old Forge and Inlet, it's on the map but not on the itinerary. Worth noting only if you're counting waters or chasing property-line curiosities in the southwestern park.
