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.

Hazy Sun at Gravel Pit

A rather hazy, cloudy day out skiing at the Partridge Run Game Area one weekend several years ago. This picture is taken at the gravel pit on Henry Hill, and is considered one of the highest elevations in Albany County -- officially it though looking at LIDAR data I have my doubts, as I found a higher point outside of Rensselaerville.
