How Colorado SWAs work

A State Wildlife Area is land CPW owns, leases or holds an easement on for wildlife and wildlife recreation. Everyone 16 or older needs a valid Colorado hunting or fishing license or a State Wildlife Area Pass to be on one, unless the property rules say otherwise. Statewide SWA rules: motor vehicles only on roads open to them, camping only where authorized, portable blinds and tree stands only and no sooner than 30 days before the season, and no firearm or bow discharge in parking, camping or picnic areas. Each property adds lettered restrictions on its CPW page; many waterfowl SWAs limit hunting days or need a reservation.
