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.

Switzkill Bridge A Little Remains

Hiking back along the old Partridge Run Road, I was a bit concerned that the bridge would finally be gone, but it's still there but there are more and more holes in the deck. I hope eventually the put a new pedestrian deck on the bridge, because it would really cut off easy access to this part of the Partridge Run should the bridge be inaccessible to pedestrians. The state gets a shit ton of money from Pittsman-Robertson, maybe they should use some of it to maintain state game lands.

Dog Looks Up

I was out snowshoeing with the dog. The snow was deep enough in some places that he had to hop through the snow, and his paw kind of froze up from the cold after a while, but he was fine once they thawed out.
