Mission

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. Click here for our membership application - we hope you will join us in supporting our mission!

The Association Today

The organization has been and continues to be instrumental in water safety issues on the lake including watercraft speed limits and noise levels. The FCLA prints and distributes a navigation map and water safety brochure for the benefit of all residents and visitors in the area. The Association has assisted the local Sheriff departments in purchasing decibel level meters, GPS, radar for their patrol boats and other support and safely equipment. 

The FCLA has given and continues to provide monetary assistance to local students who study and participate in environmental pursuits.

The organization has received many awards from local, state, and national sources. They include a Congressional nomination for the “President’s Volunteer Action Award”, a Commendation from the Environmental Protection Agency and the “Adirondack Centennial Stewardship Award” from New York State
.
The Association partners with other lake associates and now is a leading member of the Adirondack Lake Alliance which works as a resource to strengthen and assist other Adirondack lake and river associations.

All this could not and cannot exist without the countless hours of work and dedicated by our all- volunteer Board of Directors. And it is certainly not without the generous support of the membership that the organization continues to accomplish its goal to preserve and protect the unique environment of our lake and the watershed basin.
