Wisconsin state park hunting and trapping maps

Most Wisconsin state parks will have some areas open to hunting and trapping during the Wisconsin state parks hunting time frame. All hunting and trapping licenses apply. A state park vehicle admission sticker is required for all vehicles in a state park.

Due to property size, proximity to urban or residential areas, environmental sensibility and other factors, some state park properties do not allow hunting or trapping. Some state parks that receive heavy year-round use only allow archery or muzzleloader hunting. Please contact the park office where you wish to hunt or trap with specific questions about the opportunities within the park.

Wisconsin State Trail Hunting and Trapping Maps

The state trails listed below have partial areas open to hunting and trapping during the Wisconsin state parks hunting time frame. All hunting and trapping licenses apply.

State Ice Age Trail Area and North Country Trail Area hunting and trapping maps

State Ice Age Trail Areas (SIATAs) are lands purchased by the DNR for the Ice Age National Scenic Trail under the authority of s. 23.09 (2) (d) 10., Stats., unless purchased as part of another department project. The primary purpose of State Ice Age Trail Areas is to permanently protect segments of the Ice Age Trail and the natural resources along it for present and future public use and enjoyment. North Country Trail Areas (NCTAs) are lands purchased by the DNR for the North Country National Scenic Trail.

Most properties will have some areas open to hunting and trapping during the Wisconsin state parks hunting time frame. All hunting and trapping licenses apply. No hunting or trapping is allowed within 100 yards of the two National Scenic Trails on SIATA and SNCTA properties. Due to property size, proximity to urban or residential areas, environmental sensibility and other factors, some properties do not allow hunting or trapping. Some properties that receive heavy year-round use, only allow archery hunting.
