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.

Along Old Partridge Run Road

|

Hard to imagine a little over a decade ago you could drive this road, and indeed I spent many a nice summer afternoon parked along this road, reading with my feet in the creek. Now you can walk it or as I did today, ride a mountain bike on it, which probably isn't legal because it's no longer a road but I doubt anyone cares.

Hiking at Partridge Run

Tall grass, and probably ticks but it's still nice to hike someplace not crowded where one can really get out and enjoy nature.
