Landowner Enrollment Begins For Walk-In Access Program

Landowner Enrollment Begins For Walk-In Access Program

Enrollment is open for Minnesota’s 2025 Walk-In Access program, which pays landowners to allow public access on private lands.

Since 2011, the Walk-In Access program has enrolled parcels of 40 acres or larger with high-quality natural cover. These parcels are usually enrolled in conservation programs such as the Conservation Reserve Program or Reinvest in Minnesota. Although it is not a requirement, it is preferred to ensure quality habitat for outdoor recreation. For enrolling in the program, landowners can receive $18 per acre.
