About Fourth Lake Fulton Chain
Fourth Lake is one of eight lakes in the Fulton Chain, formed where a dam on the Moose River backs up water through the west-central Adirondacks near Old Forge, New York. It's one of the larger lakes in the chain, with the hamlet of Inlet at its head and Eagle Bay strung along the north shore; Old Forge sits at the foot of the whole chain, with the Enchanted Forest Water Safari water park drawing summer crowds. Canoeists and kayakers use the Fulton Chain as the classic start of long Adirondack paddling routes, including a multi-day canoe race that has begun here every September for decades.

Fourth Lake Fulton Chain depth chart, in wood
This is a Fourth Lake Fulton Chain depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 14 ft, 28 ft, 42 ft, 56 ft, 70 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 84 ft. The lake covers about 3.4 square miles, and 185 shore roads are engraved around it. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Fourth Lake Fulton Chain map for the wall — or a gift
Most of these go to a cabin wall, a lake house entry, or a home office; a lot are gifts — the family that has been on Fourth Lake Fulton Chain for three generations, the retirement move, the first boat. The 12-inch is the desk-and-shelf size; the 24- and 30-inch boards read across a room. Add a line under the title and star your place on the shore, and it becomes the map of your Fourth Lake Fulton Chain.
Fourth Lake Fulton Chain map — the details
How big is the map?
Four sizes: 12, 17, 24 and 30 inches on the long side, from $149. Every size is cut from the same depth data of Fourth Lake Fulton Chain; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Fourth Lake Fulton Chain is cut layer by layer from published bathymetric soundings — each layer of birch is a depth contour, so the shape of the bottom is the real one, not decorative.
Can I add my own place on it?
Yes. At checkout you can add a line under the title (a family name, a cabin name, a year) and star the spot on the shore that matters to you.
How long does it take?
Made to order in Waterford, Pennsylvania and shipped in 7–10 days; shipping is free in the lower 48.
Can you make a lake that isn't listed?
Any lake in the United States — we hold depth data for 104,419 of them. Search for yours; if it isn't built yet we build it when you order.
