Fourth Lake

Fourth Lake is the largest of the Fulton Chain — 4.5 miles long, stretching from Inlet to Eagle Bay. Motor access, public beaches, and a mix of private camps make it the busiest of the eight, but the shoreline still holds quiet coves for paddlers willing to work around powerboat wakes.
