The Grasse River runs northwest through the working forest between Tupper Lake and the St. Lawrence County line — a paddling river more than a destination water, with long flat stretches through mixed hardwood and softwood and occasional pocket marshes that open into wider pools. It's less mapped than the Raquette or the St. Regis system, which means fewer put-ins are marked on recreation maps, but local paddlers know the access points and run sections of it in spring when water levels cooperate. The river drains a wide watershed and picks up tributaries as it heads toward Massena and Canton — more of a throughway than a place you'd fish or camp intentionally. If you're exploring the northern tier of the park by canoe, the Grasse is worth noting as connective geography rather than a featured stop.
