Disc Golf at Garnet Hill!

Play Disc Golf at Garnet Hill!

We brought disc golf to Garnet Hill! Check out our new 9-hole disc golf course. Our wooded disc golf course offers a variety of fairways that are fun for all, yet suitably challenging for experienced players. The course will begin outside the Garnet Hill Outdoor Center, travel toward the trails around the Log House, and then finish back at the Outdoor Center.

The course includes multiple target positions to cater to players of different ability levels, and we use trees, bushes, and elevation to make each hole challenging and unique. Use of the course is complimentary if you have your own disc – for overnight guests and local residents. Discs are available for rent or purchase at the Outdoor Center. We will charge a $30 disc rental fee which includes 1 putter, 1 midrange, and 1 driver. You have the option of keeping or buying all three discs for $30, or if you choose to rent and return after your round, we will refund you $15.

The North Creek Mosaic Project

The North Creek Mosaic Project

A Community Wide Art Participation Program!

Kate Hartley and son Clayton

The North Creek Mosaic Project

Artist Kate Hartley saw the large concrete wall on Main Street in North Creek as the perfect canvas for a very unique, very large-scale art project. Fast forward to today, and slowly, but surely, beautifully colored tiles and stones are advancing down Main Street in North Creek. They’re taking the shape of a raging river, tree-covered mountains, and a shining sun, highlighting the activities that make the region special, like whitewater rafting, skiing, and fishing. What was once a 180-foot stretch of bland, concrete wall is being transformed into “one of the largest pieces of public art in the North Country” thanks to the efforts and vision of Hartley and over 700 volunteers.

Revolution Rail – Rail Bike Tours – Trips in North Creek!

What is Rail biking?
Rail biking with Revolution Rail Co. is a fun excursion activity that allows riders to ride the railroad tracks under their own power and explore a section of the Adirondacks that has never seen passenger traffic.
Once rail bikers check in at the historic North Creek Railroad Station, they’ll take a short shuttle ride 5 miles north of town to the tour launch point. After a short safety briefing, the tour guides will lead the rail bikers further north on a 6 mile round trip cruise.

New, the South River Run takes riders south right out of the North Creek Railroad Station for a 9 mile out-and-back trip. Riders on the South River Run enjoy varied rolling terrain, hug the Hudson River shoreline for large sections of the ride, and enjoy a number of incredible vistas of the Hudson River.
Additional trips in Thurman/Stony Creek and Hadley – info on the website, link below.

Open for the 2025 season! Click on the website link below for reservations and additional info.

Ski Bowl Park – 4 Seasons of Recreation!

North Creek’s Ski Bowl Park is the site of the original Skiing Slopes from the 1930’s, and one of the earliest ski tows in the country. Often called “Little Gore” (it operated as a ski area into the 1970’s), today it is run as part of the larger Gore Mt. Ski Center with the Village Slope, 46er Chairlift, and Cross Country Ski Trails. Additionally in the warm seasons – a network of mountain bike and hiking trails wind through the woods and slopes. Ski Bowl Park also has tennis courts, baseball fields, a playground, and event space with a large covered pavilion and the Joe Minder Lodge. The Ski Bowl is also the terminus of backcountry ski trails originating from Barton Mines Road.
