Planning a hunt in Michigan
Michigan DNR’s Where to Hunt resources can help narrow your search before you choose a property. Follow the location through to its current map and management information rather than relying only on a statewide land overlay.
Keep the hunt unit and the land-management boundary separate in your notes. Check seasonal road access and the planned parking location with the appropriate manager. For a trip spanning several public holdings, save the relevant property names so you can review each one’s notices and rules before departure.
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.
