Stockport Wildlife Management Area

The primary purposes of Stockport Wildlife Management Area (WMA) are for wildlife management, wildlife habitat management, and wildlife-dependent recreation. This WMA consists of 357 acres of fields, forested uplands, tidal forested wetlands, tidal marsh, and small areas of freshwater wetlands. The WMA was acquired from Scenic Hudson in 2008 and 2015. The various upland and wetland habitat types found on the WMA support a great variety of fish, wildlife, and plant species. This property is an important feature of the Hudson River Estuary, providing spawning and nursery habitat for striped bass, American shad, shortnose sturgeon, blueback herring, and alewives. Portions of Stockport WMA can be accessed by boat from the Hudson River, but the best access to upland areas is provided from Rod and Gun Road in the Town of Stockport or from Almstead Avenue at the end of Ravish Road in the Town of Greenport. Parking is also provided at Scenic Hudson's Harrier Hill Park off Rod and Gun Road.
