Quiver Pond is a 20-acre water tucked into the Old Forge working forest — the kind of pond that shows up on a topo map but not in the trailhead conversation, which means it's either gated private, logged-over and difficult, or both. No public fish stocking records, no DEC campsite markers, no trail register to sign. The name suggests either an old hunting camp or a surveyor's inside joke; either way, it sits in that wide buffer zone between the resort corridor and the true backcountry, where access depends on landowner relationship and local knowledge. If you're asking about Quiver Pond, you're either looking at a deed map or you heard the name from someone who grew up here.
