Minnesota’s Walk-In Access Gets Boost | Fargo News

Minnesota’s Walk-In Access Program just got a $2.1 million federal boost to keep 22,000 acres of private land open for public use—perfect for hunting, birding, and nature photography. Funded by USDA’s national initiative, it pays landowners to welcome visitors without needing permission. Active since 2010, this grant ensures the program thrives for three years. With over 220 sites across western, central, and southern Minnesota (open Sept–May), all you need is a $3 validation—buy it online, via the DNR app, or at license vendors.
