Planning a hunt in West Virginia
West Virginia DNR’s wildlife management area directory helps you identify the named WMA and its official information. Use the individual property map to plan the approach instead of assuming a road drawn near the boundary is an entry.
Compare the WMA information with current hunting regulations and the intended hunt. In steep country, use contours to assess the walk and keep an alternate exit, but confirm both for legal access. Save the area name and parking location so the route remains connected to the right property information.
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.
