More about Lake Alice WMA...
Lake Alice Wildlife Management Area encompasses 1,468 acres along the Duprey Road in the Town of Chazy, Clinton County. The principal portions of this management area were acquired in two stages from the William H. Miner Foundation, 648 acres in 1953 and 750 acres in 1970.
Prior to state ownership, the area was primarily used for agriculture and timber harvesting. In addition, water control structures were built along Tracy Brook to generate hydro-electric power. This mosaic of cropland, woodland, and impounded open water provided an ideal base upon which to establish a wildlife management area.
A series of level, easily accessible foot trails have been constructed so visitors can access the management area. These footpaths are used for recreation, such as hiking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, family outings and education. The trails help direct visitors to various points of interest located throughout the site, including scenic vistas and unique ecological communities, offering individuals an opportunity to learn more about nature and examine the relationship between habitat and wildlife. Thus, Lake Alice offers a chance for visitors with widely diverse interests, from sportsmen to wildlife researcher, to pursue their favorite outdoor activity.
Hunting, fishing and trapping are integral parts of the conservation and management of New York's natural resources and the various wildlife management areas across the state are no exception. Hunting, fishing, trapping and other forms of wildlife-based recreation are permitted in accordance with the Environmental Conservation Law and its associated regulations.
