Long Lake — not to be confused with the much larger Long Lake in the central Adirondacks — is a 12-acre pocket water in the Old Forge area, tucked into the working landscape of the western park. No fish stocking records and no formal trail listings, which suggests either private holdings or unmaintained local access; worth a call to the Town of Webb office or a conversation at the Old Forge Hardware before you plan a trip. The name shows up on older USGS quads but not in the DEC's stocked-waters database — a reminder that not every named water in the park comes with a parking lot and a put-in. If you do find access, expect a quiet afternoon and bring a thermometer; small forest ponds in this drainage can push 75°F by mid-July.
