Eighth Lake is the largest of the Fulton Chain of Lakes at 1,196 acres, with a public boat launch and several lean-tos on state land along the north shore. Good for smallmouth bass and yellow perch; motorboats allowed, but no-wake zones enforce some quiet water near campsites.
Eighth Lake has public access. Summits nearby include Wadsworth Mountain and Fox Mountain.
