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-

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. Phase 1
