Imperial Mills Dam Access
Imperial Mills Dam Access
Imperial Mills Dam Access provides a canoe/kayak portage around the dam on the Saranac River in Plattsburgh, with a gravel access road and small parking area on NYS DEC property.
The site is part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail and will see improved portage facilities as part of ongoing dam rehabilitation work.
A fish ladder is planned for completion by fall 2026, which will eventually allow for more continuous paddling upstream by eliminating this portage requirement.
