The CDFW Public Access Lands dataset is a subset of the CDFW Lands dataset. It contains lands that might be accessible to the public for hunting, fishing, wildlife watching, and other recreational opportunities. For additional information please visit the CDFW Lands web page, "Places to Visit", for a list of wildlife areas and ecological reserves at https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Lands/Places-to-Visit . Please note that some lands may not be accessible due to seasonal closure or protection of resources and habitat. Please refer to the regulations or contact CDFW regional or area office prior to visit. Additional information for some wildlife areas or ecological reserves may be found at www.wildlife.ca.gov/Lands. For information on public use regulations on Department lands, please refer to the Public Uses on State and Federal Lands section of the Waterfowl, Upland Game, and Public Use Regulations booklet for both statewide and property-specific regulations https://wildlife.ca.gov/Regulations. All visitors are responsible for knowing and following the general and property-specific regulations.This is a generalized version that has been dissolved and has a shorter attribute table than the original version. This dataset is a digitized geographical inventory of selected lands owned and/or administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Physical boundaries of individual parcels are determined by the descriptions contained in legal documents and assessor parcel maps relating to that parcel. The approximate parcel boundaries are drawn onto U.S. Geological Survey 7.5'-series topographic maps, then digitized and attributed before being added to the dataset. In some cases, assessor parcel or best available datasets are used to digitize the boundary. Using parcel data to adjust the boundaries is a work in progress and will be incorporated in the future. Township, range, and section lines were based on the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5' series topographic maps (1:24,000 - scale). In some areas, the boundaries will not align with the Bureau of Land Management's Public Lands Survey System (PLSS).
