state land

Government-owned property

State land is territory owned by a government rather than by private individuals or corporations.

In the United States, it typically refers to land held by state governments as opposed to federal public lands: The hiking trail crosses state land before entering the national forest.

State land may be managed for conservation, recreation, timber, or other public purposes.
