The Historic Town of Jonsburg is a four-season Adirondack destination
located along the Hudson River and surrounding NY’s premier ski
destination—Gore Mountain. You can trace the Town of Johnsburg’s
history back to hearty settlers who made a living logging, mining and
running tanneries. Today, the Town of Johnsburg is a lively oasis and
perfect jumping off spot to explore the Adirondacks.
Year round, visitors will enjoy exploring the seven Hamlets that make
up the town—Wevertown, Riparius, Sodom, Garnet Lake, Bakers Mills,
North River and North Creek. North Creek is the most visible Town of
Johnsburg hamlet due to its Main Street with quaint shops and restaurants
The Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek offers theater, concerts
and gallery displays.
In winter, thousands of skiers trek to Gore Mountain which offers the
largest vertical drop in the eastern US. The spring thaw releases Maple
sap and the chance to see area Sugar Houses producing real Maple syrup.
The spring also brings migrating birds back to the forests and birdwatchers
flock to the area. Adventure seekers also flock to the area for the
white water rafting and kayaking on the Hudson River.
Summer brings warm days and cool nights to the region and campers,
hikers, boaters and other vacationers who find the Town of Johnsburg
is the perfect Adirondack location. Changing leaf colors transforms the
Town of Johnsburg into a fall foliage destination. Visitors can take the
Gore Mountain gondola and view the fall splendor throughout the Adirondacks.
Arts & Community Thrive Here
Make your way to the intersection of Main Street and Route 28N in
North Creek, and you will find one of the greatest treasures of the area:
Tannery Pond Community Center. The center was built in 2002 and
features a 150 seat auditorium, the Widlund Art Gallery and several
multiuse meeting rooms.
All are welcome to visit – take a break from the summer heat (or
come in to warm up!), view exhibits in Widlund Gallery, learn about
and attend upcoming concerts and events, or fill water bottles before
heading out on the adjacent Carol A. Thomas Memorial Walking Trail.
Come see why Tannery Pond is a true gem of Johnsburg and the region.
