Bog River

Bog River flows out of Lows Lake and meanders northwest through state forest land toward the town of Tupper Lake — a slow-moving corridor through spruce flats and lowland marsh, more paddling route than whitewater. The river's character is low-key and remote: expect beaver activity, the occasional great blue heron, and long stretches where the loudest sound is your paddle stroke. Access from the south involves a carry from the Bog River Flow / Hitchins Pond area; from the north, the river eventually meets the Bog River Flow near Tupper Lake village limits. Paddlers looking for solitude and wetland habitat rather than lake views or mountain backdrops will find it here.
