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.

Snowshoeing Along the Redbelly Snowmobile Trail

Andy | February 4, 2023

Where the snow was well packed, it was pretty easy going, but in other locations, it was a difficult cutting through the ice and deep snow with snowshoes.
