Round Pond is a 15-acre water tucked into the Old Forge township — not the Old Forge corridor proper, but out in the less-trafficked working forest to the west or south of town where township lines bleed into private timber company land and seasonal camps. No fish species on record, which typically means either unstocked, winter-kill prone, or simply undocumented by DEC surveys. Access details are sparse in the public record; if you're hunting it down, confirm legal entry and parking with the local ranger or town office before bushwhacking in. Old Forge waters without highway pull-offs tend to stay quiet.
