Limekiln Lake Campground

Nicks Lake Campground

Located in the Black River Wild Forest, this campground has 112 campsites, picnic area, a large beach with lifeguards and more than 5 miles of hiking trails. The park abuts a 205-acre shallow lake closed to motor boats, which makes this serene location great for canoeing, kayaking, or swimming. And don't forget that fish pole, because the fishing is great too. If paddling around at dusk trolling for that lunker bass or brown trout, listening to the sound of the loons, and watching the sun set sounds a little too relaxing for you then how about a modern ADA Accessible playground for the little ones, volleyball, horseshoes, basketball and more than 3 miles of paved roads for the biker or jogger. Whatever you choose to do with your time here, take time out to observe the abundant wildlife. Whitetail deer are everywhere and friendly.

 Just minutes away you can enjoy a chairlift ride to the top of McCauley Mountain to view Fulton Chain of lakes or drive into Old Forge and visit the multitude of shops and fine restaurants along Main Street. And once you visit Old Forge, you will have to spend at least one day at the Enchanted Forest / Water Safari.

 Whether your day is filled with one of the many activities available here or you chose to just sit back and enjoy the campfire, you can always start or end your day with a hot shower in one of our brand-new state of the art ADA Accessible restrooms.

To get to the campground, you must paddle. The state park allows only car top boats. We kayaked all of our gear out to the island. It was a few days before 4th of July so it was a very busy time to be in 4th lake making the lake very choppy. A lot of our stuff got wet due to big waves from boats crashing into our kayaks. I’m not sure if the lake is more deserted during the rest of the summer but the lake was FILLED with boats. When we arrived to our camp site, there were 5 pontoon boats anchored and a jet ski pulled right up onto our site. We called the park office and were able to move to another site that didn’t have squatters. The island would have been much more peaceful if you didn’t constantly have boats going by, and the bar directly across the lake didn’t have live music until 2 am. But again, maybe all this has to do with it being the week of the 4th of July. I will absolutely stay at this park again, just for the beauty of the island. P.s. don’t feed the ducks. They will never leave.

The island itself is so serene and beautiful but

sites: boat only access. bring water. pack in/ pack out. lean to at sites. secluded.
amenities: pit toilets. 
other attractions: hiking. theme park near (off island).
I would go back again.
