     89.18 Roads through state forests, permits.  


    No public highway, other than a state trunk highway, shall 
 be established or laid out through any state forest as the same 
 shall be created and withdrawn from public sale and entry by 
 existing or subsequent act, without the consent of the 
 commissioner, certified in writing to the public authority 
 having power to establish or lay out such highway.  In any 
 judicial proceeding affecting the laying out of a highway, the 
 court may either sustain or reverse the action of the 
 commissioner as the court, in its discretion, may deem proper.  
 The limitations and restrictions provided in this section shall 
 not apply to state-owned lands which have not been expressly 
 withdrawn from sale and created and reserved as state forests.  
 No state forest lands or right or easement therein shall be 
 taken by eminent domain for any purpose without the consent of 
 the commissioner, certified in writing to the authority or 
 corporation exercising such right of eminent domain.
