Welcome
The Fulton Chain of Lakes Association was founded in 1968 (over fifty years ago) with a mission to protect the waters of the Fulton Chain of Lakes in New York's Central Adirondacks. On this website you will find helpful information about our organization and how you can help us preserve and protect the unique environment of the Lakes and the surrounding woodlands, streams and wetlands. We are actively involved in numerous issues such as boater safety, water quality and invasive species.
​
We envision a future where the Fulton Chain of Lakes thrives as a pristine and healthy ecosystem, supporting diverse flora and fauna. Our vision includes fostering a community that values and prioritizes the conservation of natural resources, ensuring the long-term well-being of the lakes for generations to come.

Brianna's Law
In 2005 Brianna lost her life in a tragic boating accident. She was 11 years old. That accident was the inspiration and impetus for Brianna's Law, a comprehensive boater education law that now requires all power boaters in New York State to complete an eight hr boating safety course. The course certificate must be carried.
Idea - Copy your certificate to place in your boats and PWCs.
Think for a minute what would happen to Inlet if the 6th Lake dam failed!!
The improved dams correct:
-
discharge capacity,
-
inadequate gate outlet capacity, and
-
the dam design to meet safety regulations.
The noise and inconvenience of construction is necessary. Please be thankful for the improvements which will allow us to weather the storms and continue to enjoy our lakes.
Old Forge & 6th Lake Dam Rehab Projects Begin
