Taylorville Pond is a 92-acre reservoir on the northern edge of the Old Forge township — a working impoundment rather than a natural water, set in second-growth mixed forest west of the main tourist corridor. The pond sits quiet and underdeveloped compared to the chain lakes to the south; no formal boat launch, no DEC campground, no tackle shop buzz about what's biting. It's the kind of water that shows up on a topo map but not in conversation — more utility than destination, more local than regional. Access details are sparse; if you're fishing it, you're likely putting in from private land or discovering it on your own terms.
