Hunting Access
​Program 

What is Hap?

The District monitors the  Michigan DNR Hunting Access Program (HAP) The District currently facilitates 2 properties in Midland County. HAP is a incentive program to encourage landowners to provide access of their private properties for hunters. The program was originally established in 1977, and since then it has grown to encompass the entire Lower Peninsula and the eastern Upper Peninsula.

How it works

  • HAP is funded through USDA grant funds given to the State of Michigan​
  • Hunters hunt free on HAP lands (hunters are still required to obtain a State of Michigan hunting license and necessary tags) 
  •  Landowners are compensated per acre based upon land quality provided. To be eligible for the program, landowners are required to provide a minimum of 40 acres. Highly desirable lands are those that include forests and fields.
