Planning a hunt in Maryland
Maryland DNR’s public hunting lands resources help connect an intended hunt with the specific property and its manager. Start with that property’s map and current hunt information, not a broad ownership color alone.
Save the exact area name and any designated entrance or section relevant to your plan. Compare the property information with Maryland’s current hunting regulations and licensing resources. If nearby public lands have different managers, check each separately rather than assuming a continuous public polygon has one set of access conditions.
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.
