The Lakes Old Forge Live Cam

History

The Lakes in Old Forge, located within the expansive Adirondack Mountains of New York, has a rich history that intertwines with the development of the Adirondack region and its evolution as a hub for outdoor recreation. The area was initially inhabited by the Iroquois Confederacy, whose members relied on the dense forests, abundant wildlife, and pristine waterways for sustenance and transportation. These waterways, including the Fulton Chain of Lakes, played a crucial role in the lives of Native Americans and later became a defining feature of Old Forge’s identity.
