Limekiln Lake is 457 acres in Hamilton and Herkminer Counties. It is primarly accessed via Limeklin Lake Road and the Limekiln Lake State Campground ($8 day use fee or via Empire Passport).
Construction began on Limekiln Lake State Campground in 1960 after the state purchased land from the Gould Paper Company. By 1964, all of the current 271 campsites were completed. The campground is usually open a week before Memorial Day thru Labor Day each year. Each of the 271 campsites have a picnic table, a fireplace/grill as well as a “bear locker”.
