Cody,

River access is allowed above Kansas reservoirs within the confines of the Federal property boundary. If you are still inside the Wildlife Area Boundary then you are fine. If you leave the Wildlife Area and enter on to private land then you would have to permission from the landowner(s).

Unless the river is up or you're in an air boat you won't make it off the federal land in the republican river above Milford.
