2019 Map of Limekiln Lake

About this map

Adirondack Park defines this landscape where Herkimer and Hamilton counties meet, centered on the significant basin of Limekiln Lake. The interior is defined by a complex network of high-elevation water bodies and drainage systems, including Limekiln Swamp and the headwaters of Limekiln Creek. To the north, the map shows the transition into the Fulton Chain Lakes system with portions of Seventh Lake and Fifth Lake visible. Notable peaks like Higley Mtn, Fernow Mtn, and Pico Mtn rise above a series of remote waters such as Mitchell Ponds and the aptly named Deadmans Gulch. The road network is limited to the periphery, with routes like Indian Lake Rd and Campsite Rd providing the only modern access points into this heavily forested terrain, where elevations frequently exceed 2,400 feet.
