and Sporting Heritage.
AB793,1,2 1An Act to amend 23.175 (2) (a) of the statutes; relating to: including water
2trails in the state trail system.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) supervises a
state park system, which includes a system of state trails that are open for use by
persons such as equestrians, bicyclists, and hikers. The bill eliminates this list of
specific persons who may use state trails. The bill also authorizes DNR to include
water trails in this state trail system. Water trails are used for recreational activities
such as canoeing and motorboating.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB793,1 3Section 1. 23.175 (2) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
