Providing access to public waters is a primary objective of the DNR. More than 200 public access sites on streams, rivers, and lakes are now available to anglers. The DNR also partners with other agencies and local governments to construct boat access facilities and shoreline fishing trails. Access for physically challenged anglers is an important component of the access development program. The Physically Challenged Handicapped Advisory Board provides useful information to the DNR about locating and designing accessible sites.
