Sabattis Scout Reservation
The Sabattis Scout Reservation permanently closed as an active Boy Scout camp in late 2024 due to declining membership. However, the 1,525-acre wilderness property has been acquired by the Open Space Institute (OSI) for $2 million to preserve its pristine landscape. It borders the Five Ponds Wilderness Area and Lows Lake.
Operated by the Scouting America Longhouse Council from the 1970s until its 2024 closure. It is currently closed to the public under temporary OSI management. OSI plans to transfer the land to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Once finalized, it will merge into the Adirondack Forest Preserve as a public gateway for hiking, fishing, and paddling along Lows Lake.

Looking off Lows Ledge on a cool and windy evening but with some nice views of Hitchens Pond and Lows Lake.
Bog River Falls
The Bog River Falls is not a mighty drop, but it's a popular place for people, myself included, to stop for lunch and take in the scenery. On a hot day, it's probably also a nice place to cool off.
