Corinth, NY By Pam Morin
Corinth, NY is an Upper Hudson River waterfront
community, south of Hadley and Lake Luzerne
and 15 minutes from Queensbury and Glens
Falls, with three miles of flat water, allowing watersports
to capture the hearts of both resident and
summer visitors.
These clean clear waters add to the centerpiece
of this quaint town and village.
To highlight this peaceful attraction, the community
has created a wonderful series of parks
that are conjoined by an easy stroll from the beach
along the walkway allowing for family picnics,
reunions and special events to be a common practice.
The very popular Pagenstecher Park screams
of adventure as its high rise picnic area hangs
above sheer cliffs known as palisades. These are
the only palisades on the 350 mile Hudson River
besides those on the northern New Jersey shoreline
banks just before entering in to the Atlantic
Ocean.
A park visitor in the Village walking along the
river can also be very captivated by the extreme
drop in elevation and the dramatic 90 degree angle
eastward that the river takes as it passes by the
old pulp mill and heads to Queensbury and Glens
Falls.
In days gone by, the railway system spurred
from the pulp mill and shirt factories in town to
the main line as product was transported south to
the metropolitan areas.
The military pride in Corinth in always accented and the Town Hall
Veteran’s Memorial and Park are true examples of their heritage and
history. The Honor Roll in front of Town Hall reflects all those In Active
Duty and the Civil War Monument that stands vigil at Town Hall.
Corinth also has program honoring World War Veterans. On November
14th at the Corinth High School auditorium, we will be holding
our Veterans Day celebration.
There is plenty to do in this community as the watersports top the
chart, while special events, hunting, fishing, hiking , biking, snowshoeing
and summer music concerts come in second. Above all, and taking
first place would be the leisure world of camping in the Adirondack
Mountains by the river or lake sweeps away the blues as the repeat
fresh air lovers spend every minute they can get away to rejuvenate in
the small community.
The arrival of the railroad to Corinth was one of the big events in
the history of the community.
With it came the telegraph, and Corinth was brought hours nearer
to the big world centers.
The twenty-five miles to Hadley was completed by 1865. The
building of the railroad has to be one of the more important historical
events in the development and progress of the Town and Village of
Corinth.accented and the Town Hall Veteran’s Memorial and Park are
true examples of their heritage and history..
