DNR land Question

[fishunt247]

This issue of land locked state land is really an issue I think we need to work toward resolving in this state. Land locked state land, in essence, becomes private land. If we can't access it, it isn't public. I'd like to the extra revenue from their crazy tag system that is supposed to go toward "increased hunter access" go to this purpose. An access trail for walking only into these sections would be so perfect. Convincing landowners who are used to having extra land at their disposal, though, may be tough. I've heard other states like Wyoming have access rights to state sections, but does anyone know if anything is being done here or how it could be done?

You could try calling the county up and seeing if any of the land the surrounds the State land has an easement on it that is used for access by the state.  If an easement exists then you can use it to access the state land. 

When the easement was granted the land the land owner whose land it runs through has no authority over the easement.
