lack Creek Marsh Wildlife Management Area (WMA) consists of about 450 acres of wetland and upland habitat in Albany County. The first purchases here occurred in the 1960’s. It is located in the Towns of Guilderland and New Scotland, and some portions are in the Village of Voorheesville. The Black Creek runs through much of the property. The WMA is also bisected by an active railroad line. Parking areas providing access can be found on Meadowdale Rd., School Rd., Hennessey Rd. and at the end of Kling Terrace. This parcel of public land affords multiple uses for outdoor recreation including hunting, trapping, limited angling, birding, and hiking.
When you head back from Depot Road, the first part of the trail is a series of open fields from an area that looks like at some point in the past was mined for gravel.
Nobody really wants to be within 500 feet of a structure at the end of the day. No shooting, no fun. But at least pick up your shotgun shells after their spent.
