Every place has a story, and every lake has a history, and we love being part of it here at Great Pines. ✨
Ever wondered how Fourth Lake got its name? As one of the eight connected lakes that make up the Fulton Chain of Lakes, it was simply named in the order it appears along the chain, a reminder that some of the Adirondacks' most iconic landmarks have histories hiding in plain sight.
Today, Fourth Lake continues to bring people together for boating, paddling, fishing, and unforgettable summer days by the water, and there's nothing quite like experiencing it right from our shoreline.
This is the first in our Adirondack Stories series, where we'll be sharing the history, people, and places that make the Adirondacks so special!
