State Trust Land

State Trust Land (STL) is not public land. It is private land owned by the state of Arizona that can be accessed for various recreational opportunities including hunting.

Hunting

If you are accessing STL for the purpose of hunting, a valid hunting license serves as your permit to access.

Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Recreating

If you are operating OHVs on State Trust Land, an OHV Decal serves as your STL permit.

While the OHV Decal authorizes users to traverse State Trust land on existing roads and trails, it does not permit holders of an OHV Decal to recreate (camp, hike, etc.), stage or park on Trust land without a Recreational Permit.

Other Recreation

For all other forms of recreation on State Trust Land, a State Trust Land recreational permit is required. Please review State Trust Land rules before accessing the area. Purchase a permit at: https://land.az.gov/applications-permits.

Recreation under this permit is limited to: geocaching, hiking, horseback riding, picnics, bicycling, photography, sightseeing and bird watching. Overnight camping is restricted to no more than 14 cumulative days per year. Remote-controlled aircraft (drones) may be operated on State Trust Land with a Recreational Permit and in conjunction with applicable local, state and federal regulations.
