Public Use
In general, trust lands are open to the public for responsible recreational activities, including hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and off-highway vehicle riding. Unlike public lands, trust lands are not held in the public trust, rather, they are held in trust for 12 beneficiaries, defined and designated by Congress at statehood. As such, recreational and other public access may be restricted, routes terminated, or areas closed at any time.
OPEN CAMPFIRES PROHIBITED
