Access Permit Areas (APAs) are those areas that require a valid NYCDEP Access Permit and Vehicle Tag for entry. NYCDEP may, in its discretion, designate portions of City Property as APAs that may be entered and used by the public for Recreational Uses with the requirement of having a valid NYCDEP Access Permit and Vehicle Tag.
(a) Designations. APAs and their allowed uses will be designated by NYCDEP on NYCDEP maps on the NYCDEP website and by NYCDEP sign postings.
(b) Uses. Permitted uses will be posted on signs in the APA, and may, at NYCDEP's discretion, include Fishing, Hunting, Hiking, Trapping, and use of Fishing Boats, and Recreational Boats. Scouting for the purpose of deer Hunting is allowed, provided that valid NYCDEP Access Permits are carried.
