Corinth, NY By Pam Morin
Corinth, NY is an Upper Hudson River waterfront community,
south of Hadley and Lake Luzerne and 15 minutes from Queensbury
and Glens Falls, with three miles of flat water, allowing watersports
to capture the hearts of both resident and
summer visitors.
These clean clear waters add to the
centerpiece of this quaint town and village.
To highlight this peaceful attraction,
the community has created a wonderful
series of parks that are conjoined by an
easy stroll from the beach along the walkway
allowing for family picnics, reunions
and special events to be a common practice.
The very popular Pagenstecher Park
screams of adventure as its high rise picnic
area hangs above sheer cliffs known
as palisades. These are the only palisades
on the 350 mile Hudson River besides
those on the northern New Jersey shoreline
banks just before entering in to the
Atlantic Ocean.
A park visitor in the Village walking
along the river can also be very captivated
by the extreme drop in elevation and the
dramatic 90 degree angle eastward that
the river takes as it passes by the old pulp
mill and heads to Queensbury and Glens
Falls.
In days gone by, the railway system
spurred from the pulp mill and shirt factories
in town to the main line as product
was transported south to the metropolitan
areas.
Today the Saratoga North Creek Railway
passes through what appears to be a
wide open expanse, with only a lone sign
to alert anyone to the planning that had
been focused on this community.
Train riders would not be alerted to
the excitement and planning that has gone
into the site redevelopment.
the platform and station will take place this summer.
But while they wait, the passionate and patriotic folks of this community
bond and show their strength often as they reach to restructure
the economy on their way to reshaping the future years of the Town
and Village.
The military pride in Corinth in always
accented and the Town Hall Veteran’s
Memorial and Park are true examples
of their heritage and history. The
Honor Roll in front of Town Hall reflects
all those In Active Duty and the Civil War
Monument that stands vigil at Town Hall.
Corinth also has program honoring
Korean War Veterans. On November 8th
at the Corinth High School auditorium,
we will be holding our Veterans Day celebration.
There is plenty to do in this community
as the watersports top the chart, while
special events, hunting, fishing, hiking ,
biking, snowshoeing and summer music
concerts come in second. Above all,
and taking first place would be the leisure
world of camping in the Adirondack
Mountains by the river or lake sweeps
away the blues as the repeat fresh air lovers
spend every minute they can get away
to rejuvenate in the small community.
The arrival of the railroad to Corinth
was one of the big events in the history of
the community.
With it came the telegraph, and
Corinth was brought hours nearer to the
big world centers.
The twenty-five miles to Hadley was
completed by 1865, and the railroad
began operating a train from Saratoga
Springs through Corinth, and to Hadley.
The building of the railroad has to be one
of the more important historical events
in the development and progress of the
Town and Village of Corinth.accented
and the Town Hall Veteran’s Memorial and
Park are true examples of their heritage
and history..
Today, under agreement with NYS
and part of the First Wilderness Heritage
There is plenty to do in this community
Corridor, plans are underway to move
as the watersports top the chart, while
forward with recently chosen design for
special events, hunting, fishing, hiking ,
a new railroad station and trolley stop with
biking, snowshoeing and summer music
an orientation kiosk and a sidewalk connection
concerts come in second. Above all, and
to the center of the Village. Prog-
taking first place would be the leisure world
ress is being made. The old buried building
of camping in the Adirondack Mountains by
was dug up and removed and new trenches
the river or lake sweeps away the blues as
have been installed for the new foundation.
The site is slated for the installation
the repeat fresh air lovers spend every
minute they can get away to rejuvenate
of electric service. Hope is that Phase 1 of
