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.
