The Adirondacks have a long history in providing artists with inspiration from the natural world.
That tradition continues today and can be seen all over town. Stroll Main Street in North Creek and leave your mark by joining in to create the beautiful and intricate North Creek Mosaic. Browse the Widlund Gallery at the Tannery Pond Center before attending a chamber music concert or comedy show. Take a step back in time at the North Creek Train Depot Museum then head to the Farmer’s Market for locally made treats and home grown veggies.
