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.

Powley Place Bridge in Evening

As you can see, the water levels where pretty high after all the rain, but the sun was providing a nice soft light over the area, as the wet day started to dry out a little bit.

The bridge is open again

Except for the fresh cement on the one wing wall, you'd be hard pressed to find any changes from how it looked before the Halloween 2019 storm.

Staying warm

All this time spent by the propane heater today meant the tank was empty by the time I was heading out.
