Crooked Creek Preserve

Crooked Creek Preserve, owned by the Thousand Islands Land Trust (TILT), consists of 1525 acres of class I wetlands, uplands and forest along Crooked Creek in the Towns of Hammond (St. Lawrence County) and Alexandria (Jefferson County). It is one of the most significant wetlands on the St. Lawrence, providing habitat for countless species. Bald eagles regularly fly overhead and the creek meanders for miles of quiet paddling or putting in your outboard. Roughly three miles long, the Macsherry Trail begins at a trail head off of Indian Point Road in Hammond. Passing beaver ponds and meandering through woods, it leads to Crooked Creek itself with a wonderful view of Chippewa Bay at the "Old Boyscout Camp," before circling back to the trailhead.

You can slide down the rapids in to pools and walk back up again.. let the locals show you how to do it. Not a lot of parking. Trail is on the east side of the bridge.

Stone Valley Trail

Reviewed By kimbouchaka

Stone Valley Trail is simply one of the best hiking trails in the North Country. You can hike on either side of the river and enjoy the beauty of the waterfalls and vistas of the rushing river, particularly in the spring. At any time of year, yes including winter when you can access on snowshoes, there are beautiful surprises. The autumn with the colorful foliage is also one of my favorite times to take a hike. You can choose to go from either the south end or the north end or make a round trip for a healthy day hike. Take a camera, good hiking shoes (or snowshoes in winter), some snacks and water, or a hearty lunch. There are lovely places to sit beside the river and just relax, listen to the water, the wind and open your eyes to take in the power and beauty of the Racquette River.

Coles Creek State Park

Reviewed By ChrisSmit - Adirondack, United States

My wife and I camped here last year (2017) during the not so busy season this year in 2018 we're staying during memorial day weekend this place is packed there's not a site to be had no vacancy yet still quite peaceful and great little view of the river and boats. They've got a park and a beach great fishing a boat launch very clean. One of my favorite parks. Even saw a loon. Only recommendation I've got is either bring good fire Wood or buy good fire Wood thier camp Wood isn't great.
