Description
Fed by 2 lakes, this reach takes longer to run and runs longer than everything else in the area. Starting on the Bog River with 4 miles of flatwater ending with a dam, the run gets tight quickly. There are a number of Class 4 ledges, more flatwater and then a series of Class 4+ to Class 5 drops. From here it will be pretty flat until the finale at Bog River Falls which dumps into Tupper Lake at the takeout. See the _New York Exposed Volume 1_  for the full description.
