  1. 01

    Search a waterway

    Move the map to the river or lake you want to research. Open Water Access & Sovereign Land and choose Search this area.

    Search the current area, choose a result category and inspect official records. A highlighted record is not permission to hunt.
  2. 02

    Compare the three result types

    Hunting destinations, Sovereign records and Launches answer different questions. Open Source & details on a result to see which agency supplied it and what the record actually describes.

  3. 03

    Keep selected references on the map

    Use Map beside a record, or Show all on map. View on map centers the result; View map closes the controls while selected references remain visible. Use Hide beside a selected record, Hide all from map or the layer toggle to remove the highlights when finished.

  4. 04

    Complete the access checks

    Read Access checks & source limits and follow the official links. Confirm ownership, legal entry, hunt dates and restrictions for that particular area. A sovereign record or launch does not itself authorize hunting on the adjoining land.
