I don't think I've ever gone out looking specifically for Corn Snakes. Where in the state do you live?
Corns would most likely be found around agricultural areas that attract mice - obviously. Old barns, sheds near corn fields and such would be my best guess.
If you don't have access to private land, I suggest any number of the good Wildlife Management Areas run by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. This is all public land. Most of them have "dove fields" that are planted with grain (sorgum and sunflowers) that attract doves. They also attract rodents. Herping these fields in April, May and June, as well as Sptember and early October would probably be very productive - if not for Corns, perhaps every other species that dine on rodents.
