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.

Parked Along Old Road

This is up by the East Gravel Pit at Partridge Run. Some time ago, NYS re-routed the Pheasant Truck Trail from the old road bed to a new road. I'm not entirely sure, although maybe the new truck trail is a little less steep as it descends down to the West Branch of the Switz Kill.
