From the U.S. Geological Survey’s Protected Areas Database (PAD-US), NYS DEC’s state lands and OpenStreetMap (features such as playgrounds and ballfields), checked by our rules and by hand. Land closed to the public and private land are left out. Hunting is marked only where the state agency’s own records say the land is open to hunting (NYS DEC; Pennsylvania’s State Game Lands); seasons, licenses and rules apply, so always check with the agency first. Something wrong or missing? Tell us.
