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.

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.
