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.

Mountain Laurel

There is a small colony of Mountain Laurel near Fawn Lake. You don't see much Mountain Laurel this far north -- it might have been planted -- but it has survived on this relatively sheltered south-west slope overlooking Fawn Lake.
