Old Forge is nestled at the foot of the Middle Branch of the Moose River; more commonly known as the Fulton Chain of Lakes. Year-round accommodations at the Forge House in 1871 and dependable rail service in 1892 led to permanent settlement of the hamlet. Within a decade; Old Forge emerged as the residential and commercial hub of the Central Adirondacks and a popular destination and gathering place for guides; sportsmen; and wilderness tourists. For the sightseer who strolls around Old Forge today or enjoys a cruise up the eight lakes in the Fulton Chain; the landscape is dotted with scores of century-old dwellings; Victorian cottages; rustic camps; and even a few grand old hotels.
