Preparing your outdoor adventure...
For Research Institutions
Built on 97 verified government data sources. Available for research institutions, conservation agencies, universities, and public-sector organizations that need pre-processed, citable outdoor data without the months of assembly work.

31,000+ lakes and rivers
with HQI wetland scores, AIS pressure bands, spawning predictions, and stocking history
133 Deer Permit Areas
with CWD risk classification (3-year rolling sample window), annual harvest, and sample counts
1,013+ MN AIS lakes
with per-species detection status, confirmed years, and county pressure scoring
718,000+ regulation rules
across species, zones, and seasons — queryable by state, water body, and species code
Multi-year stocking records
11,236 stocking events with species, quantity, age class, and date — linked to water body identifiers
821-lake spawning predictions
walleye phenology estimates derived from Walsh et al. + Daymet climate data (1980–2023)
Sources include: MN DNR, WI DNR, MI DNR, ND Game & Fish, SD GFP, USFWS, USGS, NOAA, MPCA, EPA, NWI, NLCD, USDA FSA (CRP), and others. All pipelines have documented update schedules and provenance.
Who Uses It
Conservation Organizations
Habitat prioritization, grant documentation, and impact reporting using NWI wetlands, CRP acreage, NLCD land cover, and CWD surveillance data already synthesized in the platform. Avoid weeks of data assembly for each grant cycle.
University Research Programs
Pre-processed, normalized data from 97 government sources with documented methodology — suitable for citation in published research. Fisheries biology, wildlife management, and conservation programs benefit most from the lake-level data depth.
State Agency Staff
Synthesized cross-state regulatory reference and rapid multi-source synthesis for public communications. What NomadPath assembles automatically would take a research team weeks to replicate from raw agency sources.
Media and Journalism
Accurate sourced data with plain-language synthesis for general audiences. Full technical methodology available for editors who need it. Attribution to named agency sources at every data point.
Data Provenance
NomadPath data is derived from named agency sources, processed using documented methodology, and updated on defined schedules. Pipeline documentation is available to institutional partners. Conservation organizations and universities need to be able to cite their sources — NomadPath makes that possible where most competitors treat their data as a black box.
Methodology documentation for core T3 features (AIS pressure scoring, waterfowl HQI, spawning window predictions, CWD risk classification) is available on request ahead of a formal institutional agreement.
Coming 2027
Institutional partners who express interest now will receive early access and direct input on endpoint design. If your research timeline aligns with 2027 delivery, now is the right time to start the conversation.
Get in Touch
Institutional pricing is scoped in conversation based on organization type, data access scope, and use case. No published price list — no credit card required to inquire.
Institutional contracts are annual access licenses — not monthly subscriptions. Organizations need a fiscal year line item justification, not a recurring credit card charge. Pricing is scoped in conversation based on data depth, organization size, and intended use. Data export and API access are priced separately and are still in development.
If NomadPath doesn't make you a more informed hunter or angler in your first 30 days, we'll refund your first month. No questions, no forms.
