Seventh Lake is a beautiful lake located near Inlet, New York. It is part of a special group of lakes called the Fulton Chain of Lakes. This chain includes eight lakes connected by rivers and channels. Seventh Lake is an important part of this watery pathway.
The lake gets its water from a creek that flows from Eighth Lake. It also receives water from other smaller streams like Seventh Lake Inlet, Wheeler Creek, and Buck Creek. The water then flows out of Seventh Lake through a channel into Sixth Lake.
