The Collins Pennsylvania Forest, Collins Almanor Forest, and Collins Lakeview Forest are private property. When the lands are open, recreational use is generally available to individual members of the public, provided the property is treated with respect. Please be sure to check the Collins Facebook page for up-to-date closure information, and please observe and comply with gates and posted signs.
Except during times when the lands are closed, the public may use Collins lands according to each forestland’s provisions. Please see the associated policy for the forest where you would like to recreate.
Collins Land Access Updates (Summer, 2024):
Due to wildfire concerns, Collins announced the following status changes to public access to managed lands:
Collins Almanor Forest (Chester, CA): Friday, August 30, 2024 – Due to ongoing fire dangers and activities related to the Park Fire, the Collins Almanor Forest closed access to the public on its lands between California State Highways 32 & 36 in Tehama County. Please see announcement here and associated map. The remainder of Collins lands in the Almanor region remain restricted to day-use only as announced on June 28, 2024. Recreational day-use activities such as hiking, bicycling, fishing, and sightseeing remain permissible at this time except on the lands between California State Highways 32 & 36 in Tehama county. If conditions worsen, additional restrictions may be implemented. This policy will remain in effect until further notice.
Collins Lakeview Forest (Lakeview, OR): Friday, June 28, 2024 – It is the policy of Collins Lakeview Forest (CLF) to be closed to public access during officially declared fire seasons. Both Oregon and California have declared the start of fire season, so CLF will be closed to public access until this status is lifted in the fall. This policy affects Collins timberlands in Lake and Klamath Counties, Oregon, and Modoc County, California.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

For the 2024 hunting season the Collins Pine Company has selected 59 properties throughout Northwestern Pennsylvania totaling 113,000 acres. There are DMAP units in Clarion, Elk, Forest, McKean, and Warren counties. There will be 3332 permits to distribute for these DMAP units. All distribution will be handled via the Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS).
If you have questions that are not answered below about DMAP, consult the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s website. Hunters can purchase DMAP antlerless deer permits from license issuing agents or the PGC’s website if they have the DMAP unit number.
These permits are for antlerless deer only! Absolutely NO antlered deer are to be harvested with this permit.
The below interactive hunting map can be used to discover a variety of hunting-related information about Collins properties around the Allegheny National Forest. Collins is providing the following GIS layers to be used for personal hunting use; Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) units, roads/gates that are open during hunting season and stand harvest information. Check here for tag availability.
*** In May 2021 – Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) was confirmed in a white-tailed deer on a Warren County hunting preserve and the PGC established a new Disease Management Area (DMA 5) that includes part of the ANF (but not any of the DMAP units above).
If you plan to hunt in a DMA, there are a handful of specific rules to follow. Please see the PGC’s Hunting and Trapping Digest to learn more about these rules and visit the PGC’s Chronic Wasting Disease website to learn more about CWD and where it has been found in Pennsylvania .***
