The Mohawk River in the Old Forge area is one of several small tributaries in the region that share the name — not to be confused with the major Mohawk River that runs across central New York. This one threads through the working forest between Old Forge and the western edge of the Fulton Chain, part of the quieter drainage system that feeds the Moose River basin. Access and fishery details are scarce in the DEC records, which usually means a low-traffic stream corridor used more by loggers and surveyors than by paddlers or anglers. If you're looking for named water with established access in this part of the Park, the Fulton Chain lakes and the Moose River itself are the reliable choices.
