OF WISCONSIN

From state natural areas to state trails, lake shores to rivers, Wisconsin has a wealth of public lands for your enjoyment. These are your public lands and available for you to connect with the outdoors.

If you are looking for a place to fish, hunt, or trap, this atlas will help you find public access opportunities to do so. If you are interested in wildlife watching, hiking, or skiing in the winter, the following pages will help direct you to prime places to enjoy these activities, and others, as well.

Public access to many of these properties has been made possible by the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, providing places to play while also protecting water quality, habitat and natural areas since it was created by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1989.

I am proud to offer this extensive directory of 441 maps that help you find some of the best habitats and most beautiful areas that Wisconsin has to offer.

Take advantage of the information provided in this atlas and create new outdoor memories with friends and family.

Introduction to the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship ProgramThe Wisconsin Legislature created the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program in 1989 to preserve valuable natural areas and wildlife habitat, protect water quality and fisheries, and expand opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The conservation and recreation goals of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program are achieved through the acquisition of land and easements, development of recreational facilities and restoration of wildlife habitat.

The general land acquisition component of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program is the backbone of Wisconsin’s public lands program. It provides the funds for all Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources land acquisition not funded specifically by other Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program components. This mandate is extensive and includes acquisition in over 500 existing state parks and trails, flowages, fishery, wildlife, state forest, and rivers projects.

Part of the funds from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program are available each year in the form of grants to local units of government and nonprofit conservation organizations (NCOs). These grants help fund land acqui-sition and recreational development statewide. Grants are awarded to expand the State Natural Area program, for wildlife habitat protection, riverway and water quality conservation, state trails, and acquisition of local parks and nature preserves. Lands purchased in part with Stewardship grants are managed for natural resource conservation and nature-based outdoor recreation. They are open to the public, but are owned by the grantees, not the State. This directory includes an index of contact information for the organizations or local governments that own or manage grant-funded Stewardship lands.

Cherish Wisconsin Outdoors FundAs you page through this directory of the many gifts Wisconsin has as a direct result of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund, we would like to invite you to learn about an easy way to support habitat management of these special places. Consider for a moment the places that mean Wisconsin to you. The lake where your grand-father taught you to fish. The forest you hiked with your family. The fields where you sighted your first deer or turkey. The state park where you experienced camping for the first time. How much do these places and memo-ries matter to you? How much do you want them to thrive for your children’s generation, and the one after that?

The Cherish Wisconsin Outdoors Fund was created so that we can start now to ensure the future enjoyment of our state’s remarkable natural wonders. When you invest and give to the Fund you help ensure the 1.5 million acres of publicly owned forests, barrens, grasslands, wetlands, streams and lakes in Wisconsin will be cared for today and for generations to come.

To help make this effort a success, the DNR has partnered with the Natural Resources Foundation, which will oversee the fund. The purpose of the Cherish Wisconsin Outdoors Fund is to protect, restore and improve habi-tat for Wisconsin’s plants and animals. Your donation to the fund will help support our state parks and forests, state wildlife and fishing areas, state natural areas, and wild rivers—the places we create memories. To learn more, please visit CherishWisconsin.org or call 866-264-4096.

Introduction to Using Public Access LandsPublic access lands are here for all of us to enjoy. As long as we all follow the same rules these lands should be available for many generations to come. Some activities like berry picking are free and unregulated. Other activities like deer hunting and wild rice harvesting require a license.

Always read the signs at public land parking lots, trailheads and boat access sites.

For more information about DNR land, contact the DNR’s customer service center at 888-936-7463 or search the Department’s web page at dnr.wi.gov. Contact information for other land managing agencies and organizations is provided in the back part of this atlas.

Using this Atlas

This atlas is designed to help you find public access lands in Wisconsin. The book consists of three sections: (1) introductory information, (2) 441 maps and (3) indexes and other supporting information. If you are looking for a specific DNR property, like Peninsula State Park, check the DNR Properties Index near the back of the book. The state index map that appears twice, on the back cover and just before the first PAL map, is another helpful tool for finding your special area of the state. Holding the maps so that the title “Public Access Lands” reads left to right will mean that north is at the top of the page. The scale of each of the maps is 1 : 105,000 or 1 inch equals about 1.6 miles.

Not shown on the maps are lands that are open to public access for only a period of some years, such as lands enrolled in the Managed Forest Law (MFL) or Voluntary Public Access (VPA) programs. Also not shown are private lands that are leased by the DNR. Certain public lands, such as local school forests, are not shown because there is no statewide spatial database for them.

Although all DNR properties are shown on the PAL maps, to keep them from being cluttered some lands are not labeled. In addition, State Natural Areas located within other properties (e.g. National Forest or State Wildlife Area) are not labeled.

Because many fishing-related ease-ments are only 66 feet wide, making them too small to appear on maps of this scale, their size is exaggerated by 400 feet so that they are visible on the maps. An artifact of this exaggeration is that the highlighted area may appear to extend into an area that is actually without public access. Users must also not assume that these areas are also open for hunting or other recreational activi-ties. In most cases, they are open for public fishing only. Always read and obey the signs posted at a property. If there is a question, contact the local property manager.

Annotated Legend

Township Line. When the land was first surveyed in Wisconsin in the 1800s, it was divided using a grid system known as the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). The first level of organization within the PLSS is by township. Each township grid cell represents approximately 36 square miles, although the measurements were not always precise due to the instruments the surveyors were using, among other limitations. Each grid cell is identified by a township and range number. The range number identifies the number of cells east or west of the central meridian line running through Wisconsin. Since the township baseline in Wisconsin is also the state’s southern boundary, all townships in Wisconsin are identified by an “N”, for north, after their number. The PAL maps are organized by township with four townships per map.

Section Line. Each 36-square-mile town-ship is further divided into 36 sections—each section theoretically being 1 square mile, or 640 acres. Most land ownership in Wisconsin references the townships and sections of the PLSS. Small areas of the state that were settled or granted prior to the PLSS are based on different survey systems—sometimes collectively referred to as grants of land. Generally, these lands are a result of early French settle-ment (such as at Green Bay and Prairie du Chien) where long narrow lots with a bit of water frontage were commonly es-tablished, or where some Native American Reservations were established. In order to simplify the PAL maps, grants of land and sections (plus theoretical section lines through grants of land) are shown using the same symbol.

Cities and Villages. Cities and Villages with cities labeled in all capital letters and villages only capitalized.

State Trail. One of 41 designated state trails. The Ice Age Trail and North Country Trail, which have the primary designation of national scenic trail, are also state trails. Portions of the Ice Age Trail that cross private land without a permanent easement are not shown.

Federal Land. Land owned by a federal government agency such as the National Park Service, U. S. Forest Service, or U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service

County Forest Land. Land owned by the local county government and enrolled in the Wisconsin County Forest Program under state statute 28.10.

State Land. Most of these are lands were acquired by the DNR prior to advent of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. Some of the lands shown are owned by the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands (BCPL), which is Wisconsin’s oldest state agency. BCPL is comprised of Secretary of State, State Treasurer, and Attorney General. BCPL uses its land base of approximately 75,000 acres to help finance public education.

State Land. Land owned by DNR and acquired under the Knowles-Nelson Stew-ardship Program.

State Easement. These are private lands on which the DNR holds a permanent easement for which no Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program funds were used.

State Easement. These are private lands on which the DNR holds a permanent easement that was acquired under the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program and that allow some form of public access.

Local Parkland. Public access land owned by a local unit of government such as a city or village that was acquired with no funds from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.

Additional Local Parkland Locations. These are local park land locations, in ad-dition to the local park lands shown above in light pink. Due to accuracy concerns with this data they are represented as points instead of the actual ownership footprint.

Local Parkland. Local parkland that was purchased with some matching funding from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.

NCO Land. Land owned by a nonprofit conservation organization (NCO) that was acquired with some matching funding from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.

Areas shaded in light yellow are outside of Wisconsin or shown on a different map.

These numbers refer to the index of Stewardship Grant Land Managers near the back of the book.

Glossary of Public Access Land TypesWisconsin is home to a wide array of public access land types. An understanding of these land types will give a sense of the different types of uses that are allowed. For more information, complete a web search of each listed type.

FEDERAL PROPERTIES:National Forest—There is one national forest in Wisconsin, the Chequamegon-Nicolet, which is a large woodland area in northern Wisconsin owned by the federal government and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Land management on Chequamegon-Nicolet is focused on timber harvest-ing, water and wildlife conservation, livestock grazing, and outdoor recreation. Although originally established in the 1930s as two separate forests, they were merged into the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in 1998.

National Lakeshore—The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior is one of four national lakeshores in the country. The Lakeshore is made up of beaches, cliffs, water, islands and a strip of mainland at the northern-most tip of Wisconsin. It is administered by the U.S. National Park Service.

National Scenic Riverway - The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in northwest Wisconsin is managed by the U.S. National Park Service to conserve the scenery and important natural and historic objects along the river corridor. It also includes much of the Namekagon River.

National Wildlife Refuge—The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s mission for the National Wildlife Refuge system is to administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management, and where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats.

STATE PROPERTIES:State Forest—The management of State Forests balances the sustainable harvest of wood products and protection of natural resources while providing a range of recreation opportunities. Many state forests were formed around watersheds in an effort to protect these fragile aquatic ecosystems. This provides visitors ample recreation opportunities along lakes, rivers and streams.

Demonstration (Demo) Forest (eg. Douglas Hallock Demo Forest, Wausaukee Timber Demo Forest)—The purpose of Wisconsin’s Stewardship Demonstration Forests is to demonstrate sustain-able forest management and responsible stewardship while also using these lands as educational tools for students, professional foresters and non-industrial private forest landowners. The forests provide an opportunity to demonstrate active timber management and sustainable forest manage-ment.

Forest Legacy Program—Congress created the Forest Legacy Program under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service to help fund the protection of large blocks of environmentally important private forestlands threatened with conversion to non-forest uses - such as subdivision for resi-dential or commercial development. The program provides cost-share funds that allow the DNR to purchase easements from willing sellers to keep the land in its forested state and to allow public access for hunting, fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, snowshoeing, and other low-intensity recreation activities. Landowners maintain ownership and retain other rights to the property, including the right to sell.

Wildlife Area—State wildlife areas are managed to provide high quality habitats for game and non-game species. Although their primary purpose is to provide places for hunting and trapping (and fish-ing where water is present), they are increasingly popular destinations for wildlife watching, hiking, snow shoeing and dog walking.

State Park—State parks provide areas for public recreation and for public education in conserva-tion and nature study. Wisconsin’s State park properties harbor many of the state’s ecological and scenic gems. Camping, hiking, outdoor education, boating, biking, horseback riding, and swimming are among the many popular activities that attract over 17 million visitors each year to the state park system.

Recreation Area—State recreation areas provide opportunities for the public to participate in a range of outdoor activities, similar to state parks but typically not including overnight camping. They include Baraboo Hills, Chippewa Moraine, Fischer Creek, Sauk Prairie, Richard Bong and Browntown-Cadiz Springs.

Scenic Waters Area—Willow Flowage Scenic Waters Area and Turtle-Flambeau Scenic Waters Area are both are located in the northern part of the state. These flowages were both established in the 1920s to maintain water flows and reduce flooding. They now provide exceptional fishing, boating, and primitive camping opportunities.

Wild River—Wild Rivers are designed to protect and provide public access along the state’s most scenic, pristine rivers. Like state parks, they tend to attract visitors from throughout Wisconsin and the Midwest and are important to the economic health of the tourism industry. The DNR owns acre-age along three designated wild rivers: Pine-Popple, Pike and Totogatic.

Natural Area—State Natural Areas (SNAs) provide a glimpse into what the state looked like 200 years ago and provide a baseline from which to evaluate current and future management actions. Some support rare or endangered species, while others are the best remaining occurrences of native plant communities such as fens, oak savannas or boreal forests. Many of the more than 600 SNAs are embedded within other conservation properties (e.g., Wildlife Areas, National and County Forests, and nonprofit conservation organization properties), about 100,000 acres are “free standing” SNAs.

Fishery Area—State fishery areas protect land along many of Wisconsin’s highest quality streams, rivers, and lakes. They protect critical springs and spawning areas that help support these fisheries and provide exceptional angling opportunities. State fishery areas also provide opportunities for hunt-ing, trapping, hiking, berry picking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. In addition to state fishery areas, the department has acquired fishing access easements through the Stream Bank Easement program.

State Trail—The Department of Natural Resources operates a system of state trails. Each of the trails, and in some places even segments within each trail, has different allowable uses that may in-clude walking, biking, horseback riding, cross country skiing, ATV use and more. Two state trails, the Ice Age Trail and North Country Trail, are also National Scenic Trails that have shared administration with the U.S. National Park Service.

Conservation Area—Conservation areas are designed to accomplish ecological goals over very broad areas. In most cases, these landscape-scaled projects are designed to meet ecological needs through a combination of protected lands set within a mosaic of working farmlands. The department has re-cently initiated two Conservation Areas, the Southwest Wisconsin Grassland & Stream Conservation Area and the Central Wisconsin Grassland Conservation Area.

Hatcheries and Rearing Stations—The Department of Natural Resources operates hatcheries, egg collection facilities and rearing stations that raise millions of fish to be stocked every year in lakes and rivers where there is no or little natural reproduction. Hundreds of waters statewide help to provide more fishing opportunities for anglers. Tours at the hatcheries are often conducted for school groups, scouts and other groups by appointment.

Remnant Fishery Habitat (REM)—Remnant areas protect individual tracts of land of fish habitat for cold water species. These usually occur in widely scattered areas along trout streams and include the most important spawning areas and springs.

Public Access—These are places to launch a boat that are shown in the map legend as “Boat Ramp” and “Carry-In Boat Ramp”. There are over 3,000 public boat access sites in Wisconsin that are shown on the maps.

Nursery—The Department of Natural Resources operates three nurseries to ensure a consistent supply of high quality seedlings of desirable forest species, at an economical price, to encourage reforestation in Wisconsin. The state nurseries are fenced and gated and are open to the public for customer service during regular business hours. Tours of nursery grounds are available by appoint-ment. Public hunting is not allowed within the fenced areas.

COUNTY and LOCAL PROPERTIES:County forest—According to state statute, county forests exist to enable and encourage the planned development and management of the county forests for optimum production of forest products together with recreational opportunities, wildlife, watershed protection and stabilization of stream flow, giving full recognition to the concept of multiple-use to assure maximum public benefits; to protect the public rights, interests and investments in such lands; and to compensate the counties for the public uses, benefits and privileges these lands provide; all in a manner which will provide a reasonable revenue to the towns in which such lands lie.

Local parkland—Most Wisconsin counties and municipalities manage local parks and other conser-vation and outdoor recreation lands for the public. They range from town and city parks to county greenways and recreation areas. Some of these areas are not shown because there is no statewide geographic database of them.

Nonprofit conservation organization (NCO) land—Some nonprofit, non-governmental conservation organizations actively work to protect natural resources by acquiring land and/or conservation ease-ments. These organizations are run by local people who have a shared passion for preserving their communities’ natural heritage. In Wisconsin, there are about 50 NCOs that own and manage con-servation land. Together, they have permanently protected over 280,000 acres of the state’s special places with some matching funding from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.

Data Sources and LimitationsWhile every effort was made to accurately show public access lands in Wisconsin, the maps quickly become out of date as land is acquired or sold by various agencies. This publication is expected to be updated every two years.

No warranty, express or implied, is made regarding accuracy, completeness, or legality of the information herein. The boundaries depicted on this map may not represent the legal ownership boundaries of any property. The delineation of legal boundaries may only be conducted by a licensed surveyor.

A brief discussion of some of the data sources follows.

Federal land data comes from a variety of sources, including U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Pro-gram’s PADUS database, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Cadastral Geodatabase and the U. S. Forest Service Basic Ownership data.

DNR ownership and easements data are from the DNR Land Records System and 1:24,000-scale DNR Managed Lands Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database.

County forest data comes from the Wisconsin Forest Inventory & Reporting System maintained by the DNR Divi-sion of Forestry. The property boundaries in this layer are more accurate than those for most of the other public access lands types which in some cases leads to gaps appearing between county forest lands and, for instance, DNR land where in fact the lands are adjacent.

The data for county and local parkland acquired with no Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program funds is known to be incomplete and unreliable in some places but is created from two different data sources. County Park Data was obtained by the DNR from Wisconsin Counties and Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs) in 2012. County and Local parkland data is also shown using ESRI World Street Map, a data source provided by the GIS software company ESRI. There are known inaccuracies with this data, as such the parks are represented as points and used at zoomed-out scales to minimize data inaccuracies. These two datasets are the best available data to represent County and Local parkland at this time.

The data for roads and highways comes from The OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. OpenStreetMap is a project aimed at creating a free, world-wide geographic data set that focuses on transportation infrastructure. The OpenStreetMap data is mostly collected by OSM project members using GPS devices and then entered into a central database with specialized editors. As a part of this transport infrastructure, OpenStreetMap contains roads for the state of Wisconsin. DNR staff downloaded the roads data for Wisconsin through the GeoFabrik website in 2016. (GeoFabrik is a company that supports OpenStreetMap and helps make the data accessible to the public) The OpenStreetMap data is periodically updated by DNR staff as they become aware of specific issues with the data.

State trails data come from the DNR, North Country Trail Association and Ice Age Trail Alliance.

Data regarding boat access sites is maintained in a 1:24,000-scale layer by the DNR Bureau of Facilities and Lands.

Data about parking areas is currently available statewide for some properties in a 1:24,000-scale layer.

Township, Section and Grants-of-Land data are from the DNR’s 1:24,000-scale Landnet database.

Data are best-available statewide and/or current as of 2017.

FeedbackThe DNR plans to update this atlas in subsequent years and is interested in getting your feedback on ways to improve its content and format. We also want to better understand the different ways that readers use the atlas. If you have ideas, advice, comments or criticisms, we’d like to hear from you by setting your browser to http://dnr.wi.gov keyword search “atlas.”
