How Access Yes! and Large Tracts open private ground

Access Yes! pays willing landowners to open private land, or a way across it to public land, and each property carries the owner's own conditions; the layer IDFG uses for 2026 counts 112 properties, of which 12 are fishing-only and left out here.

Large Tracts agreements keep private timberland open for hunting and trapping with seasons that align with public land regulations, and motorized travel is limited to designated routes (Idaho Code 36-126).

Property names that read like a landowner's name are shown by property number.

Large Tracts Program (own page): 866,479 acres on record.

Access Yes! Program (own page): 343,632 acres on record.
