Nicks Lake

Located only two miles from Tickner's is Nick's Lake; a State Campground with day use available for a nominal fee. We deliver canoes and kayaks daily free of charge to camper's sites and to the beach for day-users.

This glacial-formed lake is well stocked with Large Mouth and Small Mouth, while the pan-fishing is great for the kids. Besides enjoying this motor-free lake boat, options such as a beach, picnic area, hiking trails, ball field, playground and pavilion are available for your family's pleasure. The calling of loons and whitetail deer add to the delight of this serene Adirondack Lake.
