The Minnesota Walk-In Access site (WIA) GIS data represents areas of private land that have been made open to the public for the purpose of walk-in (foot travel) only hunting via the Walk-In Access program. These sites are open during legal hunting season from September 1st to May 31st. Currently the WIA program covers a 21 county area in SW Minnesota. The program is in it's second year as a pilot program and is seeking permanent funding to continue operating.
