Utica Reservoir is a small, two-acre impoundment in the Old Forge area — more utility than recreation, and not widely documented in fisheries or trail records. The name suggests municipal or historic supply ties to the town, though current use and public access aren't clearly established in state databases. Without fish stocking records or maintained access points, this is one of those minor Adirondack waters that exists more on the map than in the hiking or fishing conversation. If you're poking around Old Forge's backroads and spot it, expect woods and shoreline, not a trailhead sign or a put-in.
