A brief overview:

Old Forge is located in the Central Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York.  Old Forge is the largest community in the historic Town of Webb.  The main street is Route 28 which runs through the town and continues along the Fulton Chain of Lakes.  As you can see on the map below, The Fulton Chain begins at the town of Old Forge with Old Forge Pond.  From the pond you can access First Lake by the narrow channel.

What makes this chain of lakes so unique (in my opinion) is that you can access Old Forge Pond thru Fifth Lake all by boat. Each lake is connected by a small channel. "The Fulton Chain of Lakes is part of a river system originally dammed at Old Forge in about 1798. Water flowing through the Fulton Chain starting at 8th Lake enters the Middle branch of the Moose River at the Old Forge Dam. The North branch of the Moose River joins the Middle Branch below the dam." ~Fulton Chain of Lakes Association.

There are many houses, camps, cabins, and condos a family can rent when visiting Old Forge. The choices are endless.
