Piseco-Powley Road

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.

Washout Along East Canada Creek

|

Probably the worse remaining washout in Stratford is the 1/4 mile stretch where the road runs right along the creek, and became part of the creek during the torrent.

One of the benefits of camping on Piseco Powley Road is there is no cell service up here – and with the southern part of the road closed its not like I can duck down to Stratford for a quick text or post. I’ve not been without cell service for this long for some time now and it’s good because it’s allowed me to have some quiet time to think and write without constantly checking social media. Now with having remote work, having cell service is normally a blessing but this has been a true vacation weekend and I’m totally disconnected.
