Planning a hunt near Tabernash? The Grand County hunting map is really two maps: public areas from Colorado Parks and Wildlife and private lines from the county. What this Grand County guide covers: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.
The Grand County hunting map: start here
Out toward Arapaho National Forest, start with Colorado Parks and Wildlife for public areas, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Grand County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Byers Peak Wilderness included. For acreage around Tabernash, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If the land is near Arapaho National Recreation Area, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Winter Park. For a parcel near Byers Peak Wilderness, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Private land and parcel lines
Private boundaries come from the Grand County ArcGIS parcel map, so you can see who owns the land near Grand Lake.
Getting a yes
With a lot near Kremmling, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Hot Sulphur Springs, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Radium and its lines is a good backup.
Sections, lots and bearings
Colorado uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Arapaho National Recreation Area cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Byers Peak Wilderness can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Tabernash for any title or survey request.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Out toward Granby, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the County Clerk and Recorder. Older tracts around Grand Lake may sit on many deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Land on the county line
Grand County meets Boulder County, Clear Creek County, Eagle County, Gilpin County, and Jackson County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Hot Sulphur Springs that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map as well. For land near Parshall, the Platbookmapper state page lists every bordering county map across Colorado.
Scouting from the aerial
Switch to aerial imagery near Arapaho National Recreation Area, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Tabernash belong with the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Granby need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Safety and courtesy
Leave gates as you found them on land near Granby, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
Places you'll see on the map
Hot Sulphur Springs serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Fraser, Granby, Grand Lake, and Kremmling, each with its own cluster of lots. About 15,935 people call Grand County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 1,846 square miles. The county was organized in 1874, and some chains of title near Grand Lake are long. Places such as Arapaho National Forest are easy to spot when you zoom out.
Rules and responsibility
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and know your state's trespass rules before hunting near Byers Peak Wilderness.
