Newcomb Sportsmen’s Club Home Page

The Newcomb Sportsmen’s Club property is a 7,000+-acre recreational preserve leased from Finch, Pruyn & Co. The club was established in 1958 and is one of the longest lived clubs in the area. It is situated in the high peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains off Route 28N south of Tahawus in the Town of Newcomb, Essex County, New York. The club property also provides access to Newcomb Lake and the State-owned Santononi Preserve.

Club members are dedicated to promoting the ethics of good conservation and environmental stewardship. We care for the lands we lease and in turn the lands reward us with spectacular views, wildlife and recreational opportunities. Come explore our special treasure.

DEC Activity on Club Property

On Saturday, October 11, club member Ron Caponera was stopped by a DEC officer in the Wards Mill area. The officer requested to see Ron's license as well as the firearm he had in his possession. On Sunday, October 12, Mark Sterwald's 14 year old son was stopped by the same officer while walking on a club road. His son was carrying a 20 gauge shotgun. The officer asked to see the ammo that the boy had in his possession and thankfully he did not have any slugs.

DEC will have a much more visible presence on our club, as well as others. Adherence to DEC regulations is required. You should be sure not to have any loaded firearms in your vehicle and you may even want to be sure that when you exit the woods and start to walk on a club road that your gun is unloaded.

We would hate to see any member ticketed for a violation. Consider this a heads up for the upcoming season.
