Cranberry Lake
The Cranberry Lake region is one of the largest remote areas remaining in the state. Cranberry Lake, covers 11 square miles and has 55 miles of shoreline, over 40 of which are state owned. The DEC is stocking brook trout to make the lake a popular fishing spot. A public boat launch is located on the Columbian River west of Cranberry Lake.

Bog River/Lows Lake
Canoeists may enter the Bog River at Lows Lower Dam and paddle up the slow-moving river approximately 14.5 miles to the west shore of Lows Lake, where a canoe carry leads to Big Deer Pond and the upper reaches of the Oswegatchie River. The route continues downstream to Inlet, where it becomes unnavigable. The only major obstruction is High Falls, although beaver dams are often encountered and two minor rapids might not be navigable during periods of low water.Located off of a short gravel road, off of State Rt. 421, at Lows Lower Dam. This road may be gated in the spring to protect it during frost-out.

Grass River
This leisurely hour and a half canoe paddle during periods of moderate to high water is located just inside and outside of the western boundary of the Adirondack Park and ends above Lampson Falls. By the time you hear the sound of Lampson Falls, you should see a large rock and use-worn area on the west bank of the river. Lampson Falls are broad and shallow, and are not preceded by rapids or tricky currents of any kind. Your family will want to get out of the canoe to walk the path to get a better look at the falls. This is a 5.5 mile round trip. Located on County Rt. 38, northwest of the St. Lawrence County hamlet of Degrasse, look for a yellow on brown sign for the DEC area: Degrasse State Forest, on the northeastern side of the road to the launch area.

Please remember if you bring it in, make sure you bring it out!!!
Always leave an area the way it was before you got there - Lets keep the Adirondacks Waterways Clean!!
