Piercefield Flow is a 458-acre impoundment on the Raquette River northeast of Tupper Lake — part of the corridor between Carry Falls Reservoir upstream and the village downstream. The flow is best accessed by boat launch at the south end near Piercefield village, where NY-3 crosses the river; paddlers use it as a leg on longer Raquette trips or as a wide-open afternoon flatwater trip with forested shoreline and occasional camps. The water is shallow and weedy in sections by late summer — typical for this stretch of the Raquette — but serviceable for canoes and kayaks through the season. No designated camping at the flow itself, but primitive options exist along the Raquette corridor upstream and down.
