Planning a hunt in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania Game Commission’s State Game Land maps are organized around specific numbered properties. Keep the game-land number with your scouting pins so you can match the right map and notices later.

Confirm the parking and approach shown for your intended entry, then check current hunting regulations and property information. Do not treat nearby state forest, park or private land as an extension of a State Game Land. If your planned walk crosses into another holding, verify that manager’s access and rules separately.

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.
