Planning a hunt in Washington
Washington Fish and Wildlife’s hunting-location resources are a starting point for identifying properties and access opportunities. Keep the specific destination or access-program identification with each saved location.
Check current property information for road access, closures and the activity you intend. If the approach involves another manager’s land, use that manager’s current travel information as well. A visible forestry road or track is not proof of vehicle access. Save the confirmed entrance and an alternative route that has also been checked.
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.
