About this destination
Fulton Chain Lakes are a series of eight interconnected lakes located in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The lakes, in order from southwest to northeast, are: Fourth Lake, Third Lake, Second Lake, First Lake, Old Forge Pond, Clearwater Pond, Big Moose Lake, and Twitchell Lake.
The Fulton Chain Lakes are popular for various recreational activities including fishing, boating, and swimming. Fourth Lake is particularly popular for water sports, as it is large and has several marinas and public beaches.
The town of Old Forge, located at the south end of the chain, offers a variety of lodging options, restaurants, and shops. The Adirondack Scenic Railroad, which runs from Utica to Lake Placid, has a station in Old Forge, making it easy to take a scenic train ride through the region.
Hiking and camping are also popular activities in the area, with many trails and campsites located in the nearby Adirondack Park. The Fulton Chain Lakes are a great destination for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the beautiful Adirondacks
