Welcome to the Adirondack Town of Johnsburg
In addition to serving as a gateway to the Great South Woods and the newly opened "Finch" lands, the Town of Johnsburg is a destination all in itself. Here you'll find a host of recreational opportunities. Spend a day skiing on Gore Mountain, or an afternoon rafting the Hudson River Gorge. Or, perhaps biking or hiking on our recently constructed trail system is more to your liking. And after exhausting yourself, dine at one of our local restaurants, and then plan to stay at one of our local Inns or B&Bs.
​All Legal Notices for the Town of Johnsburg will be placed in the Post Star. This includes all departments: Highway, Planning & Zoning etc.
