Old Man's Pond is a remote lake in Newfoundland and Labrador, accessible via a woods road approximately 17 kilometers from the North Shore Highway, near Fuses Brook. The road network leading to the pond was originally built by the Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Mill for timber harvesting operations. The remoteness of the location means there is no traffic noise — only the sounds of water and birds once you are in the area.

Access requires traveling the full length of the woods road, which should be factored into trip planning. The pond is not reachable without navigating this unpaved route. There are no formal launch facilities.

Wind is a significant factor on this pond. Paddlers have reported that strong winds can make the return trip extremely difficult, with water washing over the bow of a kayak and very slow progress when paddling upwind. Timing a paddle for calm morning conditions is advisable, as winds tend to be lighter early in the day. One account noted that a planned paddle had to be postponed by a full day due to uncooperative wind conditions.

The pond supports Brook trout, making it of interest to anglers who may also be on the water. The surrounding landscape is forested, consistent with the broader boreal character of interior Newfoundland. The area sees very little human traffic given its distance from the highway, contributing to a quiet, isolated paddling environment.

Paddlers visiting the area are encouraged to pack out all waste, as the remote setting has no waste management infrastructure and the responsibility for keeping the area clean falls entirely on visitors.
