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.

Hiking Edick Road Extension Trail

|

Edick Road Extension Trail goes from the end of Edick Road Extension to Piseco-Powley Road. The seasonal snowmobile trail and old woods road is relatively flat, as it goes through a quiet section of woods. The creeks are fairly well bridged by snowmobile bridges, as this is a key snowmobile connector route in the winter.

Nice Autumn Day at the Potholers

Enjoying the cool waters on a hot late summer day in mid-September at the Potholers Swimming Hole, aka Bray House Falls on Piseco-Powley Road. Despite the mercury being around 80 degrees, the trees are turning colors.

Plains of East Canada Creek

I was struck by the similarities -- and contrasts to Moose River Plains. You certainly do not see the Golden Rod in the Sandy Plains of East Branch of the Moose River.
