White Pond is a three-acre pocket of water in the Old Forge township — small enough that it likely sits tucked in second-growth forest off a seasonal-use road or behind private land, the kind of spot that shows up on the DEC gazetteer but doesn't pull paddlers off the Fulton Chain. No fish species data on record suggests it's either unstocked, too shallow for winter survival, or simply too far from the access infrastructure that generates creel surveys. Without public trail or launch intel, this one lives in the "know a guy who knows the landowner" category — common in the Old Forge working forest, where ponds this size number in the dozens and most never make it onto a trip itinerary. If you're poking around the back roads near the Moose River Plains with a canoe and a topo map, it's worth a look.
