      "Where wilderness meets water"

      CLIFTON-FINE

      Oswegatchie River

       

      Cranberry Lake

       

       

      As "WILD" of a river as ANY in the Adirondacks, the Oswegatchie is the lifeline for the entire Clifton-Fine Region. For those who have experienced it... it's easy to see why.

       

      From Cranberry Lake the "Oswegatchie River" can lead you into two very different areas of the park. Upstream will lead you deep into one of the most vast and remote wilderness areas in the Adirondack Park as you head towards the Oswegatchie headwaters in Hamilton County near Long Lake NY. Downstream, leads you on an equally epic journey which eventually empties into the mighty St. Lawrence River on the New York and Canadian Border near Ogdensburg NY.

       

      Both directions are packed full of some of the most rewarding, wildlife viewing and fishing opportunities. A leisurely paddle up or down the River, often presents one with a deep sense of serenity as you venture through through some of the most pristine, and untamed parts of the Adirondacks.

       

      For those looking to experience the Oswegatchie but are looking for something less adventurous... 

      Check out the

      "Oswegatchie River Walk"

      put together by local volunteers.
