148.630 Classes of trails established.
The state system of trails shall be composed of:
(1) State scenic trails, which will be extended trails so located as to provide
maximum potential for the appreciation of natural areas and for the
conservation and enjoyment of the significant scenic, historic, natural,
ecological, geological, and cultural qualities of the areas through which such
trails pass. Each of these trails will be limited exclusively to foot use, except
that the use of horses or off-road motorized vehicles or nonmotorized bicycles
may also be permitted on segments of scenic trails where specifically
designated by the department. Because of their extended length, the state
scenic trails shall be supplemented by support facilities but only on that part of
a trail which is in a state park or recreation area. Such support facilities may
include, where deemed necessary and feasible, primitive shelters, fireplaces,
safe water supply, and other related public-use facilities. These facilities shall
comply with the state's health standards. No open wood fires shall be permitted
on state scenic trails except in areas with support facilities specifically
designated for such purpose.
(2) State recreation trails, which will provide a variety of outdoor recreation uses in
or reasonably accessible to urban areas. These trails may be of the following
types: foot, horse, off-road motorized vehicles or nonmotorized bicycles as
specifically designated by the department.
(3) Connecting or side trails, which will provide additional points of public access
to state recreation trails, state scenic trails, or which will provide connections
between such trails. They shall be of the nature of the trails they serve.
