This has become a relatively popular wilderness trip. There are three possible day hikes from this route to low mountains that provide great views over the canoe route. These include Frederica Mountain, Grass Pond Mountain and Low's Ridge. Longest portage on the route is about 1 mile. The portage to Harrington Brook is rough.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Low's Lower Dam access will be closed for repairs to the dam through fall 2024. It is recommended to put in at Low's Upper Dam via a 2.5 mile portage down a DEC access road which is gated off.
