Accessible only by paddle from Bog River — most reach it via the long-standing Bog River → Hitchins Pond → Lows Lake route, a multi-mile portage-and-paddle through some of the wildest country in the Park. The lake itself stretches west into the Bog River Flow and Five Ponds Wilderness, holding native brook trout in its tributaries and warmer-water species in the main basin. Loon Conservation closures apply to portions of the lake during nesting season; current NYSDEC regulations govern all angling. Best suited to experienced paddlers prepared for an overnight or multi-day expedition.
