40B-9.125. Scope and Applicability

(1) District lands shall be managed and maintained, to the extent practicable, in a manner that ensures a balance between public access, general public recreational purposes, and restoration and protection of their natural state and condition. Part II of this chapter establishes how District lands may be accessed by the public, the allowed recreational uses on District lands, the manner in which these uses may be exercised, and uses that are prohibited on District lands. (2) District lands are open to the public for lawful resource-based recreational purposes except as otherwise conditioned, restricted or prohibited by this chapter or unless such use is inconsistent with the purposes for which the lands were acquired, as provided in the District land management plan. (3) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent any other federal, state, or local agency, including but not limited to, the entity contractually responsible for managing District lands, from requiring compliance with its rules, regulations, and/or laws to the extent of such entity’s legal authority.
