Hunters will find a resource in the Public Access Atlas, which identifies and consolidates Nebraska’s public access opportunities for the benefit of hunters, trappers and anglers. It displays more than 1.2 million acres of publicly accessible lands across Nebraska, including state, federal, and conservation partner lands as well as privately owned lands enrolled in the Open Fields and Waters program.
