List of Natural Areas
A map showing the location of every State Natural Area is provided below. Use the search box or cursor to find and select a State Natural Area. Tools in the upper right of the map allow you to see a legend, toggle viewable layers on/off, and change the basemap.
Selecting a Natural Area from the list below will take you to a web page containing a brief description and printable/downloadable map for each site. The maps for each Natural Area are geo-referenced PDF documents. When the map is opened using an app like Avenza PDF Maps on your smart phone, a dot/reference point displays on the device's screen at your exact location. Navigate with only GPS (cellular data can be disabled), record your tracks, estimate travel times, and add placemarks and photos to share with others.
