Old Forge to Third Lake

Begin in the hamlet of Old Forge, on the south side of Route 28, immediately adjacent to the Town of Webb Tourist Information Center. A nearby municipal parking lot allows long-term parking. Before starting, consult the large map mural in the parking lot and sign the registration book. Canoeists are advised that there is often heavy motorized boat traffic between Old Forge and Inlet, including the Alger Island State Campground. From Old Forge, you pass through about 1.5 miles of winding stream and come out into First Lake at it's western extremity. Keep right of the channel buoy and head slightly southeast toward DeCamp island, an State-owned property with four designated campsites and no open fires. Passage from Second Lake into Third lake is not apparent. Mileage from Old Forge to the head of Third Lake is 4.5 miles.
