Mar 16, 2015 - PA'S (aka WINDING) FALLS. Bog River Ski Trail.  Jan 6, 2013 - PA'S FALLS ON THE BOG RIVER. 20" - much powder over a wettish base. Bridge over Round Lake Stream. S of the bridge an old road passes the sites of the "Bog River Hilton" & other camps that the state removed soon after purchasing the land eventually reaching a gate at the edge of state land - some blowdown. NW of the bridge an old road (now also canoe carry for those doing the Whitney Loop) goes up over a hill for 2 miles before reaching the bridge over the Bog River. Crossed the bridge & skied downstream a bit to the spectacular falls - lots of water dropping over 20' between icy rock walls. 6+ hours.  Dec 30, 2007 - PA'S & SPLIT ROCK FALLS, BOG RIVER on unmarked trail from Rt.30 (0.2 miles S of Rt.421). 20" in the Tupper Lake area - bit of an icy crust made for more challenging skiing. 1.5 miles on rolling hilly terrain, soon reach Bog River then follo
