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.

Upside Down

Apparently a bad day at the Division of Operations. They cut the maple leaf upside down on the outhouses.

Creek Crossing

To get to Goldmine Stream Falls, you have to cross three small cricks. This one lacks a bridge, you hope stones to get across it.

To Discourage Erosion

As you can see, I added several large rocks and continued to add dirt after this picture was taken, to further improve the access to this campsite.
