What it shows
- Walk-in access fields in blue: private land the state has enrolled for public hunting on foot.
- State wildlife areas in green, each with its name.
- Trailheads and campgrounds, switched on from the Roads list.
- The unit, the owner on record and the land manager for any spot you tap.
What to know before you park
- A walk-in field is open only for the species and dates the state lists for it. A field enrolled for pheasant is not open for deer. The year's walk-in atlas is the rule.
- Fields come and go. Enrollment changes every year and sometimes during a season. Look for the sign at the field.
- Walk-in means on foot, from the places the state marks for parking.
- Every state wildlife area has its own rules: what may be hunted, when it is closed, whether you may camp. They are listed property by property in the state property rules.
Where it comes from
Colorado Parks and Wildlife's published walk-in access and state wildlife area maps, drawn as published. For small game seasons, species by species, see Colorado small game.
Every layer is somebody's record, and records can be wrong or out of date. A line on a map is not a fence or a sign. When the ground and the map disagree, stay out.
The map shows the ground. A plan tells you where to go.
The map is free. A FilledTag hunt plan is the paid part: for your tag and where you drive from, one exact plan with a legal place to park, a camp, morning and evening spots and the walk between them, checked against land records.
