GPS Coordinates: ( 44.1151167, -74.6259756 )Long Lake
Lows Lake is one of the prettiest lakes in the Adirondacks. It has the second largest Common Loon population of any single lake in New York State with eight nesting pairs. The bog area, bordered by Hitchins Pond has Boreal Species. Thrushes and Wood Warblers can be found along the river. Bald Eagles have a new nest on Lows Lake (active 2001-02, but not in 2003); they might be seen anywhere along the trip. Several species of Ducks, Osprey and Great Blue Heron might also be seen. Check the floating bog mats in late summer for Migrant Shorebirds. At night, Common Loons, Barred Owls and Eastern Coyotes call to each other and nearby campers.
