NYS DEC - MANAGED LAND ACCESS PERMIT
Access to DEC- owned lands in Suffolk County requires an individual to have a NYS DEC - Managed Land Access Permit.
Hunting on all DEC- owned lands and DEC Cooperative Hunting Areas in Suffolk County requires a Managed Lands Access
Permit and at times a daily permit. Cooperative Hunting Areas are managed by the DEC to provide hunting opportunities.
Activities other than hunting on Cooperative Hunting Areas, are managed by the landowner and are not covered by this permit.
This access permit must be carried at all times while on the property and a copy of the Managed Land Parking Permit must be
visible on the dashboard of your vehicle while you are on the property. Children under 12 do not require a Managed Land Access
Permit if accompanied by an adult with an access permit. The permit is free and valid for three years.

Permit is valid from two hours before sunrise to two hours after sunset, except bicycling which is sunrise to sunset and

with parking permit visible. Hunters must park at a designated hunter parking spot on properties when provided. Please see

designated parking spots, it is the hunter's responsibility to park and access the property legally. Individually numbered parking
sites are to be used only by hunters. Bicyclists, hikers and horseback riders must use specifically designated parking areas.
During the January firearm deer season, archery deer hunting and waterfowl hunting are only permitted at designated areas.
Please refer to http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/40399.html for a listing of designated areas. This permit is not valid for any
other activity during the January firearms deer season on properties where firearms deer hunting is permitted. Please refer to
http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/40399.html for a listing of properties open to firearms deer hunting.
In addition to a NYS DEC - Managed Land Access Permit a valid NYS Sporting License is also required for hunting, trapping,
falconry, or fishing. For a list of hunting opportunities please see http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/40399.html. A daily
access permit is required for hunting on parts of Rocky Point (north of Rte. 25) and parts of Otis Pike (north of the Long Island
Expressway) during November and December. A daily access permit is also required for hunting on all applicable properties
during the January firearm deer season.
Horseback riding is permitted on Rocky Point, Otis Pike and Westhampton only. Horseback Riding is not permitted at Rocky Point or Otis Pike in November
and December or at any of the properties during the days of the January firearms deer season. Horseback riding is allowed only on marked trails, except on Otis
