From the mountains to the rivers and across the bridges earns<br />
Hadley the phrase “where friends and rivers meet”. The Bridge of<br />
Hope which spans the Hudson River from Lake Luzerne to Hadley<br />
is the narrowest spot of the Hudson River causing it tumble<br />
and fall from the rock ledges creating Rockwell Falls.<br />
For generations the<br />
force of water has provided<br />
water-power to operate<br />
lumber, paper, and grist<br />
mills along its banks. The<br />
southern view from the<br />
Bridge of Hope is where<br />
the Sacandaga River roars<br />
in from the west to join<br />
the mighty Hudson River<br />
from the east.<br />
The <strong>18</strong>85 historic parabolic Bow Bridge was rescued from demolition<br />
and restored to use in 2006. It’s fun to drive over, but<br />
the best view comes from the windows of the Saratoga & North<br />
Creek Railway as they cross the trestle over the Sacandaga River.<br />
Hadley Mountain Fire Tower<br />
The Hadley Mountain Fire Tower affords a<br />
spectacular views ranging from the Sacandaga<br />
valley to Vermont, the Catskills, and to both<br />
the southern Adirondacks and their northern<br />
high pecks.<br />
By following the red trail markers and an<br />
ascent of 1,525’ leads to the fire tower where<br />
a summit steward, working on an internship<br />
and hired by the Hadley Fire Tower Committee<br />
may greet you. Starting the first of June the<br />
steward will spend the majority of the summer<br />
engaging and telling hikers about the history<br />
and characteristics of the Adirondack Park and<br />
Hadley Mountain Fire Tower. When not greeting<br />
the public, the steward helps maintain and<br />
repair the trail and structures under the supervision of the local<br />
forest ranger and stays in the primitive quarters of the old ranger<br />
cabin, which can be seen just prior to the final turn up to the summit<br />
and its restored fire tower.<br />
Friends of the Hadley Fire Tower Committee will be celebrating<br />
the centennial anniversary of the tower this year with an event<br />
on July15th at the trail head and on the mountain. The Centennial<br />
Celebration continues on July 16 at the Hadley Town Hall<br />
with cake, ‘“meet and greet” former stewards, and a display of<br />
former fire fighting equipment. To learn more about this event<br />
visit www.hadleymtfiretower.org or contact New York State division<br />
of Lands and Forest Region 5 @ 5<strong>18</strong>-623-1278. The second<br />
contact is Linda Ranado who is the chairperson for the Friends<br />
of the Hadley Fire Tower Committee. Her email is lranado@hotmail.com.<br />
