Note that there are no leantos on the Bog River - Lows. But there are plenty of designated tent campsites. Note also that the final 3/4 mile road leading to the lower dam (the usual put-in) may be gated until the DEC decides that the mud has dried enough for travel. Could be the middle-end of May, depending on recent snow and rains. No problem parking or getting to the dam to launch, but you may have to carry that final 3/4 mile. You can always call the NYSDEC to find out.

You are not
required to use bear canisters in the Lows area, but they are highly recommended. Otherwise keep a clean camp and hang all food and smellables according to accepted guidelines. Bears (and mice and squirrels) are well known food robbers in the region.
