Partridge Run Game Management Area

Partridge Run Wildlife Management Area (WMA) consists of about 4500 acres of upland and wetland habitat in Albany County. It is located in the Town of Berne. The majority of the current WMA was transferred to the New York State in 1962 by the federal government. The WMA can be access from County Rt. 13, County Rt. 6 and a number of town roads. Numerous parking areas are located throughout the WMA. This parcel of public land affords multiple uses for outdoor recreation including hunting, trapping, fishing, birding, hiking, snowmobiling, skiing, and horseback riding.

Peering Into the Gulf

|

This time of year I had no interest in getting to close to the ledge. It was slippery, and easy to trip up on ice atop the snow that I was breaking through with the snowshoes. I always enjoy visiting The Gulf, and one of these days I will go down in it take some pictures, in the moist, damp gulf that never has much sunlight, leading to many unique and endangered species.
