Alternative DNR Mapping Resources

Public Access Lands Web Mapping Application While the paper atlas provides maps of open public lands in Wisconsin, the data can become stale in the paper format. In order to keep up-to-date on department land acquisitions and disposals, the department provides an electronic version of the atlas. The web map displays location of public lands, recreational trails and near-shore Great Lakes shipwrecks as well as recreational opportunities such as boat access and shore-fishing sites, and trout streams. The web map also provides the location of federal and county public land, and local community open space. Department land is categorized in the web map by fee-simple, easement on private land and land leased from the federal government and provides information on the basic activities allowed on individual parcels. Users can measure distance and area and add text and graphics to create custom maps to plan a vacation or the next hunting trip.

TROUT Trout Regulations and Opportunities User Tool The Trout Regulations & Opportunities User Tool (TROUT) was designed to help trout anglers find places to fish. TROUT includes trout fishing regulations, classified trout water, public land and DNR fishing easements. Wisconsin boasts over 13,000 miles of trout streams; deciding on just one place to fish can be daunting. TROUT will help anglers optimize their time on the water by showing where the publicly accessible land is relative to roads, bridge crossings and trout streams. Exploring trout water just got easier. This tool provides anglers with: •On-the-go mobile access to trout streams and regulations •Roads, aerial images and fishing easements •The ability to find your location, measure distances, and print/save a customized map or a fishing trip •Trout habitat project locations and details beginning in 2011 and running to the present.
