Township Information
Sections

At one time Vernon Township contained four village centers within it - Vernon Village, Glenwood, McAfee, and Canisteer. Vernon Village is now our Town Center. It is located in the center of the Township and is the place residents are referring to if they say they are going into "town." It is also the home of the Municipal Center. And while perhaps not the bustling communities of their own which they once were, Glenwood and McAfee still exist in the western portion of the township - Glenwood to the north and McAfee to the south. And, with their post offices, many Vernon residents still "reside" in Glenwood and McAfee. Canisteer, however, no longer exists on a map, nor does its buildings.

Aside from the Town Center, Glenwood, and McAfee, Vernon is home to many lake communities. The Highland Lakes, Barry Lakes, Cliffwood Lake, High Breeze, Lake Conway, Lake Wanda, Laurel Lake, and Lake Wildwood communities are all located "on the mountain," while the residents of Lake Glenwood, Lake Panorama, Lake Pochung, Lake Wallkill, Pleasant Valley Lake, Scenic Lakes, and Vernon Valley Lake live "in the valley."

Great Gorge Village, or "the condos," is Vernon's condominium community which is also "in the valley," located at the base of the ski slopes in between Mountain Creek's north and south lodges.
