Planning a hunt in Alaska

Alaska’s Fish and Game access resources are a starting point for researching ways to reach a hunting area. Work outward from the actual entry route: road, trail, water or air access can involve different managers and landowners.

Keep the hunt area and land status separate in your planning. A unit boundary does not establish permission to cross a parcel. Before committing to remote travel, confirm the route, any intervening private or restricted land, retrieval logistics and a backup exit with the relevant authorities and service providers.

Check the property and the route

Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.

Use with Free Hunting Map

Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.

View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
