Pine Hill Pond.
Pine Hill Pond is an 8-acre pocket of water in the Old Forge region — small enough to hold no official fish data and quiet enough to sit outside the typical touring circuit. The name suggests modest relief rather than dramatic elevation, which tracks for the terrain west and south of the main Fulton Chain corridor. Without maintained access or DEC infrastructure on record, this is likely private-access or bush-league territory — the kind of pond that shows up on the quad map but not on the trailhead kiosk. If you know the landowner or the old logging road that leads in, you know.
