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.

Water Levels Have Dropped A Lot

|

Heading back to the Potholers for a second weekend, I was surprised how much water levels had dropped. But then again, last week we didn't get any rain, and this area is in a dry spell as noted by the lack of water in the Potholers and theamount of dust along the roads.

New Powley Bridge

Looking off the new (temporary) Powley Place Bridge deck, it's a different view not seen by anybody under 119 years old.
