Michigan's Hunting Access Program (HAP) was originally created in 1977 to increase public hunting opportunities in southern Michigan where 97 percent of the land base is privately owned. It has now expanded to include the northeast Lower and eastern Upper peninsulas. HAP is one of the oldest dedicated private lands public access programs in the nation.
