Lincoln Pond

Lincoln Pond provides the opportunity for primitive, island, or “developed site” camping. Large enough to accommodate motor boats, but sheltered from most harsh winds, this facility maintains a bathing beach and provides a very popular canoe and rowboat rental area. Some sites are in remote areas and do not offer flush toilets or portable water without going back to main part of campground. Three sites are boat access only.

The Adirondack Northway, and how it runs through Four Mile Meadow outside of Lincoln Pond in the Northeastern Adirondacks outside of Elizabethtown.

Four Mile Meadow

Ever since college I've been fascinated by the section of the Adirondack Northway that goes through a valley known as the Four Mile Meadow by Lincoln Pond, as seen on the 1953 Elizabethtown topographic map. While little signs of the Meadow exist anymore, I wonder if it was a natural meadow or due to logging.Β This section of the Northway really cut through the wilderness when it was built.

Four Mile Meadow, 1952 Before the Adirondack Northway

I have a bit of an obsession over Four Mile Meadow for many years now since my college days, which they ran the Adirondack Northway through. So I georeferenced an aerial photo from 1952 of the Four Mile Meadow on the MapWarper.
