34 Stony Creek – The Road to a Friendly Town is Never Long The “Biggest Little Town” in NY State has more than thirty thousand acres of Forest Preserve waiting for hikers, hunters and campers. Fresh mountain streams feed into Stony Creek and the Hudson River, where native brook trout seek out the fisherman’s lure. Horseback riding trails wend their way through the woods, providing spectacular views of the southern Adirondacks. At the heart of Stony Creek, the 4 Corners, also known as Creek Center, offers great food, entertainment and basic amenities. Choose from a range of prices and features at local campgrounds, guesthouses, inns, and lodges. Along the winding roads, look for natural mountain water springs to quench your thirst. Bring your family to a campground on Stony Creek, or enjoy the public park for a cook-out next to the old fashioned swimming hole. Truly a place to get away, Stony Creek boasts fresh mountain air and a quiet reprieve. The town celebrates its heritage through the annual Stony Creek Mountain Days Festival the first full weekend in August. Music in the Park is offered Tuesday evenings in July and August. Visit the information lean-to at Creek Center and take a free map of the area for a self-guided driving tour, locating trail heads, boat launches, or any of the local cemeteries dating to the Civil War. Remember, the road to a friendly town is never long. stonycreekny.com Stony Creek train platform Courtesy of Laurie Arnheiter Capture the spirit of adventure among friends.

Courtesy of Barbara Brooks Making memories on the Dean Farm Hiking Trail Courtesy of Pam Morin The Town of Stony Creek is in the southwest part of Warren County and is named for a stream that flows through it and is a main tributary directly to the Hudson. The town was first settled in 1795 and then incorporated in 1853 enclosing 82.4 square miles. Known to many where “the road to a friendly town is never long.” The east town line is marked by the Hudson River and the west town line is the border of Hamilton County. The newly constructed railway pavilion is located at the Stony Creek Ranch Resort where scenic train operations are seasonal. Tracks run parallel with the Hudson River from the North Creek to the City of Saratoga. Folks can then transfer to Amtrak and continue around the world. The Hudson River Watershed All Warren County townships have a portion of their land that drains into the Upper Hudson River. Stony Creek is one of 4 towns to have all of its land in the Hudson River Watershed. Stony Creek the stream, drains nearly 50% of that land mass. A few of the waters that form Stony Creek are Lens Lake, Roaring Branch, Smears Creek, Willis Creek and Kenyontown Creek. Stony Creek merges into the Hudson, south of the old Stony Creek Station on the Warrensburg Road. – Warren County Soil & Water Stony Creek Town Hall Location: 52 Hadley Road Mailing address: P.O.

The Dean Farm Trails – Stony Creek is about halfway between Saratoga Springs and North Creek, the southern and northern terminal of the Saratoga & North Creek Railway. Once the train tracks get to the town of Corinth – a southern gateway of the Adirondack Park – they essentially follow the Hudson River to North Creek. This section of the Park is known as the First Wilderness Heritage Corridor. With the support of Warren County Department of Planning and Community Development Director Wayne LaMothe, towns such as Stony Creek have been able to secure funding to create infrastructure projects that help promote the Corridor to tourists. The train runs along the river with a platform whistle stop at the Stony Creek Ranch Resort. “We just need to link Creek Cen- STONY CREEK INN & RESTAURANT www.StonyCreekInn.net 518-696-2394 Restaurant - Bar - Hotel Daily Full Menu Includes: Lite Fare • Seafood • Steaks • Prime Rib • Surf n’ Turf A HOT LITTLE ROAD HOUSE Top Bands, Jazz, Blues, Rock & Country Summer ~ FridayS 7 pm & every Sunday 7 pm OpeN MAY thru NOVeMBer Only 20 min. from Lake George, 15 min. from Warrensburg, 25 min. from North Creek and 30 min from Glens Falls 35 Weekly Specials Thursdays – Open at 4pm: $5 & $10 Menu Fridays: 2 for $36 Dinners NY Strip/Prime Rib/ Surf & Turf Saturdays: Soup or salad included with dinner Sundays: Mexican Menu 5-10 pm Closed Mon, Tue & Wed • Open Thurs at 4pm • Fri–Sun Open at Noon ter with the train connecting to the First Wilderness Corridor by creating what people are interested in seeing and doing. Wayne has done a fantastic job in leveraging the corridor into grant dollars through the NY Department of State that has benefitted Warren County and the towns along the First Wilderness Corridor,” said Stony Creek Town Supervisor, Frank Thomas. The main project in Stony Creek has been the creation of a trail system around the Dean Homestead Museum at 4 Murray Road. In the 1990’s about 8 acres of the old Dean farm on the west side of Murray Road (creek side) was bequeathed to the Stony Creek Historical Association to be a museum, and 217 acres on the east and west side of the road was bequeathed to the SUNY- ESF Foundation by David and Edyth Haskell. Edyth Haskell was a direct descendant of Francis J. Dean. Officially called the Francis J. Dean Farm Heritage Trails, town leaders have been working on the trail system since 2008. Thanks to an application filed by Warren County in 2010, the town secured state grant money for the project – a 50-50 matching grant, with the town and state each contributing $220,000. Phase 1 was the establishment of a 1.3 mile ADA compliant trail around the museum and along the creek. Phase 2, located on the east side of Murray Road on the SUNY ESF Foundation property are approximately 4 miles of more rugged hiking trails.
