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.

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.

Will Powley Road Open End of Summer

Could Piseco Powley Road be fully open by the autumn hunting season?

I bet those handful of cabin owners on the lower part of Piseco Road past the bridge are looking forward to accessing their cabins again. As are the many people who access the area normally from the south.

This post shows some pictures of the bridge they replaced at Piseco Place and the current southbound end of Powley Road at the Potholers.
