Sportspeople’s license and recreational user pass fees pay for these parcels of land, which are managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife employees for the benefit of our wildlife. A valid hunting or fishing license OR SWA pass is required for everyone 16 or older to visit most SWAs, and visitors should check current hunting, fishing and land use regulations when planning to visit a State Wildlife Area.

Leave No Trace

When visiting state lands, remember to practice the seven Leave No Trace principles. Travel and park on durable surfaces, including established parking spots and campsites, and stay on areas of rock, gravel, and dry grasses or snow. Remember to pack out what you packed in. When shooting is permitted on a property, pick up your spent shells, target remnants, clays and carry our trash or anything else you brought with you.
