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.

After the wildfire

|

Back in 2016, there was a grass fire at Powley Place along the East Canada Creek. I don't know if it occurred before or after the road had opened for the year, but by end of summer there wasn't much evidence of the grass fire as burnt over ground reseeded and grew strong as was before the fire. I just remember being surprised how burnt the area was when I was up there.

I love all the colors in the rainbow flag. Now I just need to figure out what other flags I must add to my collection.
