Long Lake — the 23-acre one in the Old Forge corridor, not the town or the 14-mile reservoir up north — sits in working forestland south of the Moose River Plains, accessible by seasonal dirt roads that turn from firm to rough depending on spring runoff and logging activity. No formal DEC access or designated campsites, and the fisheries data suggests it's been off the stocking rotation long enough that whatever swims here now is incidental. It's the kind of water that shows up on the topo but not in the guidebooks — worth a visit if you're already back there with a canoe strapped to the roof rack, but not a destination lake on its own. Confirm road conditions and landowner status before planning a trip.
