The Creek

The Creek
This creek wraps itself around the 38 acres of lower camp and defines the border. Acres of hills, lowlands, a bluff, and a meadow. Up from the creek a bit the camp continues with 20 acres of high ridge leading to over 100 acres of deep pine forest, brooks, and marsh.All of it lies in the middle of a 1200 acre woods. Walk north and you're in 6 million Adirondack acres. Bring a camera, you might just see moose, bear, coyote or deer here. Cross the creek and you're in my mini-camp, with guest cabin and road access.

The Creek

Perhaps no other feature defines the camp than the creek. The creek on the camp borders the 5 lots I own, and the other 5 that belong to the subdivision. The creek has a personality all its own. Its character varies from the upstream most point which is wide with many small rapids and riffles along lots 8, 7 and 6, to slow and meandering on part of 5. I've seen the creek small and gentle during the summer drought, and filled of energy such as in this video. When CityGirl and I were up last time, the creek was raging as we crossed a covered bridge.
