Rock Pond is a 20-acre pocket water in the Old Forge township — small enough to be overlooked, quiet enough to be worth finding if you're already in the area. No fish species data on record, which in Old Forge terms usually means either unstocked brookies or none at all; it reads more as a paddling destination than a fishing stop. The pond sits in a zone dense with bigger-name waters and snowmobile corridors, so access is likely seasonal road or trail rather than trailhead parking — worth a local check at the Old Forge Visitor Center before you commit the drive. Bring a canoe or kayak if you go; this is float-and-listen territory, not a swim-off-the-bank spot.
