Lows Lake is located in the Adirondack Park in northeastern New York. It is in the New York State Forest Preserve Five Ponds Wilderness Area, 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Tupper Lake. The Adirondack Park Agency classifies the lake as a Primitive Area meaning that it is wilderness in character, but contains artificial structures and private lands.
It is also named Bog River Flow, since it was artificially created by damming the river of that name.
The area is home to Sabattis Scout Reservation, a multi-thousand acre summer camp for Boy Scouts.
