After 4 months of vigorous work and research – I finally finished adding all the 278 Colorado State Wildlife Areas into The Sports Globe web site. Each SWA entry includes an interactive Google Map that allows you to see where in Colorado the property is located, as well as showing the boundaries of the property.
Included with each property are also the following pieces of information which can be useful to anyone who would use the property for activities like hiking, biking, fishing, hunting and camping to mention a few:
- Directions to the property
- Sunrise and sunset times for a specific property (determined by latitude and longitude coordinates)
- Moon phase information (moon illumination, etc.)
- Best times to hunt and/or fish that specific property
- Weather information for towns or cities near the property
- Amenities that the property offers (camping, fishing, hunting, boating, etc.)
It is also worth mentioning that a Habitat Stamp is required from the Colorado Division of Wildlife to access most of these properties, which is included in the price of hunting or fishing licenses in Colorado.
If you are interested in accessing these State Wildlife Areas and do not hunt or fish, then the price of a Habitat Stamp is $5.00 per year.
What’s next on the radar – I believe Colorado State Parks, then maybe another state (or two)…
I hope this information is as useful to you, as it has been to me in the past several months.
Regards,
Tom.
