About Map: Big Alderbed Lake Trail ....
There is an old snowmobile trail/woods road by the Powley Place Bridge, that extends 2.5 miles west to Big Alderbed, that takes you to a wire crossing over the East Branch. The trail follows the East Branch for a short distance, then heads back into an interesting Old Growth Forest with a lot of big trails. To reach Big Alderbed -- which is largely drained wetland due to a failed dam -- you have to bushwhack along the stream to the mouth of the wetland.

More about 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.
