Is this a reasonable way to check if the user has write access to the given path?

gistfile1.cs

bool CheckWriteAccessToDirectory(string directoryPath)
        {
            bool isWriteAccess = false;
            try
            {
                var collection = Directory.GetAccessControl(directoryPath).GetAccessRules(true, true, typeof(NTAccount));
                var fileSystemAccessRules = collection.Cast<FileSystemAccessRule>().ToList();
                isWriteAccess = fileSystemAccessRules.Any(rule => rule.AccessControlType == AccessControlType.Allow)
                                && fileSystemAccessRules.None(rule => rule.AccessControlType == AccessControlType.Deny);
            }
            catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
            {
                isWriteAccess = false;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                isWriteAccess = false;
            }
            return isWriteAccess;
        }
