Wolf Pond is a nine-acre pocket water in the Old Forge township — small enough that it doesn't draw the traffic of the Fulton Chain or the bigger ponds off the Moose River corridor, but accessible enough that it's known to locals looking for a quiet paddle or a casting session without the launch-ramp ritual. No public fish stocking records on file, which often means wild brookies or holdover populations from decades past, or it means the pond fished out and went quiet — both scenarios common in the Old Forge lowlands. The acreage and the name suggest it was logged hard in the 19th century, part of the watershed that fed the tanneries and mills downstream.
