 All of the lakes are located in the town of Indian Lake, in Hamilton County.The lakes formed a part of a major transportation route in the early history of the Adirondacks, connecting Blue Mountain Lake to Raquette Lake via the Marion River.From Raquette Lake, one could travel via the Fulton Chain Lakes west to Old Forge, or north via the Raquette River to the Saranac River and thence to Lake Champlain.
