Lows Lake is a 1,500-acre wilderness lake reached only by paddle — most visitors launch at Bog River and portage several miles through Five Ponds Wilderness. Brook trout hold in the tributaries, pike and smallmouth in the main basin; loon nesting closures apply seasonally, and the trip demands overnight gear and backcountry skill.
Lows Lake reaches a maximum depth of 30 feet. Fish on record include Brook trout, Smallmouth bass, and Northern pike — always check current New York State DEC regulations before fishing. Lows Lake has public access. Summits nearby include Tomar Mountain and Grass Pond Mountain.
