Pine Lake Outlet drains Pine Lake into the Fulton Chain system near Old Forge — a short, often-overlooked connector stream that splits the topography between Pine and Fourth Lake. It's most useful as a reference point: if you're paddling the Fulton Chain or fishing the shoreline east of Fourth Lake, the outlet marks the transition from open lake to the quieter Pine Lake basin. The stream itself holds marginal fishing interest (no species data on record), but it's occasionally worth a look for brook trout or smallmouth that move through during spring high water. Access is easiest from Pine Lake Road or by canoe from Fourth Lake's eastern shore.
