Frozen Switzkill ...
While the snow and ice is long gone in the city, in the bitter coldness of the hilltowns this weekend not only could you find frozen creeks, many of the lakes where frozen over including Tompkins Lake. I didn't spend much time walking the Switzkill as there was a hunter up in a tree stand and I didn't want to bother them and it was bitterly cold and had more back roads to explore in my property search.

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. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/86068.html High Point in Berne (1960 vs. 2017) White Birch Pond ... photos, maps and other content from from Partridge Run Game Management Area.More about Partridge Run Game Management Area...
