From Adirondack Northway (I-87), take Exit 31 west to Elizabethtown. Turn left on County Route 7 and drive 6 miles to the park entrance.
4 stars because of quality of staff, out of stock of ice, bait, and fire starter for my whole stay, and main camp was crowded and dirty.
However, I stayed at site 31R (remote island boat access only).
It's a good 30 minute row each way, expect to take a john boat or canoe if you are bringing any gear.
As expected no outhouses or electricity.
Still had cell service.
Do not try to pass by the left side of the island in July unless you have a paddle board even with a shallow draft canoe, we got stuck multiple times. The right hand side of the island has a deep 20 foot or more hole.
The rest of the lake is 10-12 feet deep and full of weeds.
Ok fishing for bass, pike and tiger musky if trolling, although all are under slot size or small.
The camp spot has lots of level ground, a fireplace, and a sandy ramp where you can park maybe a 16 foot v hual or larger flat bottomed boat, although it doesn't get deeper then 2 feet for about 20 feet out.
Nice view, no visitors, secluded, tent spot under the stars.
Was a great experience especially with little kids. You dont have much privacy in the main loop of campsites on the water but that's to be expected with a campground. Site 13 is the best, room for kids to run around and grass and directly on the water with no hill so they can
wade around and collect shells. Gets windy but again expected when directly on the water, I loved that the bathroom wasn't far off and was in relatively good shape, can et a little dingy but better than an outhouse that's for sure. We loved the playground and can't wait to go back
If you are looking for a camping spot do not pass up the chance to stay at Lincoln pond! This place is literally my go to spot for all occasions! A quick swim in the beautiful mountain lake of the Adirondacks. Clean water, sandy bottom, beach, huge play ground, great fishing, kayaks/canoes to rent and camping areas. Did I mention a large pavilion for birthday parties and other great events. Picnic areas. Grills. Now with an updated bath house and facilities! Great job Lincoln pond for all your hard work and always giving me a great place to swim, relax and enjoy the occasional bald eagle flying over!
