• Archery Hunting throughout the area for: small game, waterfowl, turkey, deer.
• Waterfowl Hunting shotgun area (highlighted on attached map) — on the Mississippi river
• Shotgun Hunting open for special hunts: disabled hunters & youth mentored hunts
• Deer Hunting — City of Elk River will run hunting similar to how it handles hunting within the city
limits on private property ie. Backtags from a list of available bow hunters.
• Trapping is closed on the entire site - open by permit only.
• Small Game, turkey hunting, and waterfowl hunting will be on a first come basis. This will be
accomplished by Parking space availability. The city will build a parking lot large enough to hold
12 spaces and after that lot is full any other hunters will have to wait for a space to open up.
• Cano ce —Gate will be closed during the hunting seasons —so hunters will not park along
road o e landing itself. This gate will remain open during the nonhunting seasons — so
,f major' o summer months this will be open for small boat, canoe and kayak landing.
