Piseco-Powley Road

Maps - Photos - Videos

Stretching from Stratford to Piseco, Piseco-Powley Road winds along the western edge of one of the last remaining old Adirondack dirt roads. Lined with venerable spruce trees, some nearly brushing against the road, it offers a glimpse of nature’s untouched beauty. The tranquil West Branch of the East Canada Creek intersects Powley Road at Powley Place. This spot is positioned 8 miles southwest of Piseco Outlet, where NY 10 crosses, and approximately 7.5 miles from the point Piseco-Powley Road branches off from NY 10. When approached from the south, Powley Place is found 10.5 miles northeast from Stratford via Piseco Road. Notably, this area hosts four campsites, forming part of the 22 designated camping spots along Piseco-Powley Road, enhancing the allure of this picturesque route.

Meco Lake Trail (Piseco-Powley Road)

Andy | March 4, 2024

The Meco Lake Snowmobile Trail can be found near Mud Lake on Piseco-Powley Road. It is walkable in the summer months, and is easy to follow the 1.4 miles to the end of state land, however a somewhat harder to follow trail continues beyond that with views of Meco Lake about a 1/2 mile further. The private land is not posted, however there is a sign requesting you remain on the trail.

Sand Lake Trail

The Sand Lake Trail is about a half mile long but can be a somewhat difficult portage at the end due to the swampy, narrow trail. But it's a nice little wilderness lake, with a campsite, not too remote off of Piseco-Powley Road. There also is a designated roadside campsite at the trailhead.
