Sterling Creek runs through the Old Forge corridor — one of the named tributaries in a drainage system dense with beaver meadows, logging-road crossings, and unmarked put-ins that only get attention from paddlers working the Moose River Plains or locals who know which culvert holds brook trout in May. No formal access or fisheries data on record, which in Old Forge usually means it's either too small to matter or it's worth keeping quiet. If you're already out here with a topo map and waders, it's worth a look; if you're planning a trip around it, pick a different water.
