According to the agency website: "East Bay Wildlife Management Area encompasses 38 acres north of the Sciota Road (County Route 10) in the Town of Whitehall, Washington County. It was purchased from Donald and Ann Touch in 1984 with money from the Environmental Bond Act of 1972.
The area, known locally as part of Finch Marsh, lies in a narrow river valley among steep sided hills. A scenic; ledge borders the northern portion of the property. The rest of the marsh to the west and northwest are lands owned by the Nature Conservancy. The neighborhood around the marsh is used for agriculture and rural residential purposes. Land sales, researched by local real estate appraisers, demonstrate a growing recreational and second home market, as indicated by the number of out-of-town buyers.
