Low's Lake: Paddle & Hike

St. Regis Canoe Outfitters

An easy paddle up the Bog River to Low's Lake, an excellent place to basecamp and explore by foot or canoe. Excellent short day hikes to viewpoints or lakes. Designated campsites. Some private land restrictions. Return via the same route. Plan to cartop to put-in at Low's Lower Dam. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Low's Lower Dam access will be closed for repairs to the dam through fall 2024. It is recommended to put in at Low's Upper Dam via a 2.5 mile portage down a DEC access road which is gated off. 

This route may be extended to the Oswegatchie River (the Oswegatchie Traverse) or to Lake Lila (Lila to Low's Lake Trip).
