Official Maryland access planning
State resources help you find managed areas, current rules, and license requirements. They do not open neighboring private land or replace property-specific permission.
Maryland DNR's regional directory links to wildlife management areas and other public hunting properties in the central, eastern, southern, and western regions, with property maps and access information on the individual area pages.
Open the official resource ↗Permit, reservation, or permission. The dedicated state directory separates programs from map-only guidance, permission requirements, and landowner assistance.
Official links reviewed August 14, 2026. Agencies control current maps, seasons, permits, closures, and legal requirements; recheck them before every hunt.
Create a private Maryland request
Bookable properties will appear only after boundaries, access, rules, dates, and the owner approval process are ready. The private invite is a request, not a match or permission.
Plan before you pay
Start with a defined hunt, verify the person and property, and record dates, boundaries, people, and rules before access begins.
Turn a vague search into a request a landowner can evaluate.
Read the field guide →Start with the government parcel map, assessor directory, or responsible local record office—never a scraped owner list.
Research the parcel record →Maryland law broadly prohibits a person from coming to hunt on another person's land without written permission from the landowner, the landowner's agent, or the lessee. The DNR form is a documentation template, not the source of the legal rule.
Review the sourced requirements →Publish or browse reviewed, privacy-safe request cards without names, contact details, or fake listings.

If a reviewed listing appears on this page, open it to send the owner a no-charge date request. If the reviewed rail reports zero, create a private request instead. Neither action grants access; the owner must approve the exact dates, party size, rules, and property terms.
No. Private-property access is separate from licenses, permits, tags, draws, seasons, legal methods, and other requirements. Verify all current rules with the state wildlife agency.
Yes. Landowners can submit a free, non-binding interest form from any county or area in the state.
No. Back40 Pass can define access and property terms, but wildlife presence, harvest, weather, and hunting success can never be guaranteed.
