The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today reminded the public that the gate on the access road leading to the Bog River Dam, also known as Lows Lower Dam, is closed to allow for dam maintenance. The Lower Dam Road and parking area near the end of the road will be closed to public use for the duration of the construction project. Access to the site by water is also prohibited.
Construction activities are expected seven days per week and is anticipated to continue through fall 2024. The project will bring the dam into compliance with New York State dam safety regulations.
For any questions or concerns, contact Henry Dedrick, Supervising Forester at DEC's Potsdam sub-office, at (315) 265-3090.
