Fort Hunter is located where the Schoharie Creek and Mohawk River come together. A point of land, jutted out into the river valley, this small town often floodafter hurricanes and heavy springtime rains. You can see the Canal Trail and NY 5S bridge, which gets swapped occassionally for maintance work. Also visible is the remains of the Schoharie Crossing and the old Erie Canal, which once ran directly through Fort Hunter.
