North Creek, Gore Mountain Ski Area

Gore Mountain Ski Slopes

North Creek is a classic little Adirondack working village that adapted to tourism and the outdoor life. It is located in the larger Town of Johnsburg at the junction of NY 28N and next to Gore Mountain. The Town of Johsnburg includes Wevertown, Johnsburg, North River and Gore Mountain. Gore Mountain is the biggest draw there, it is the second largest ski area in the Adirondacks. They are planning expansions of the area, including a possible ski approach into downtown North Creak. It has a cool little rail line,(the one that follows NY 28 and the River) the old D & H Adirondack line up from Saratoga via Corinth. The line is open for tourist excursions for 8.5 miles. In North Creek, they rebuilt the old depot and the locomotive turntable, right there on the Hudson River west of the village center. Both the railway depot museum and the railway are run in the warmer months. See Upper Hudson Rail Road and Railroad Museum. In the winter, the line is used as a snowmobile trail. Rafting on the Hudson River is big here in the spring season, which is good thanks to heavy spring rains. There is also free camping off of NY 28 by the ski bowl.

Roadwise, the road is very good around here. There is a small 45 mph zone as you pass Main Street on the eastern approach. Then, there's a big down grade as you pass the ski bowl and approach the level of the Hudson River west of town. Once at river level, there is a couple of railway crossings but otherwise the road is very fast and good here.
