Bog River dam is out, but paddling opportunities remain

Paddlers will find a popular stretch of the Bog River significantly changed this summer, though it shouldn’t interfere with enjoyment of the wild waterway.

The water level of the Bog from Lows Lower Dam to Hitchins Pond has been lowered temporarily to enable the state to repair a leak in the 250-foot-long concrete dam.

The 3-mile trip to Hitchins Pond is one of the best half-day paddles in the Adirondacks. It also is the first leg of longer trips to Lows Lake, a popular camping destination.
