The walk-in hunting access (WIHA) program in Kansas kicked off in 1995 in an effort to enhance the hunting experience in our state by providing hunting access to private property. The program has grown to one of the most successful access programs in the country. By 2004, over 1 million acres were enrolled in the program providing countless opportunities for sportsmen to pursue their favorite game at no additional charge. Although the majority of the acreage provides good to excellent upland game bird hunting, some areas provide opportunities for deer, waterfowl, and squirrel hunting as well.
For more information, contact the Kansas Wildlife, and Parks office in Dodge City at (620) 227-8609.
Download the ArcGIS Explorer App, available on iOS and Android, and search for KDWP 2022-2023 WIHA for the most current Walk-In Hunting Access.
