Adams Island is a man-made island in the Lehigh River in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It is located between Tilghman Street Bridge and Hamilton Street Bridge, and just upstream from the smaller Eves Island. Its previous names include Kletors or Claders Island and Haymakers Island. The island is inhabited by both summer and year-round residents. A ferry ran between the island and River Front Park for over 50 years, but has since been decommissioned. It is currently accessibly by both road and footbridge.
