This rule was authorized in order to protect persons, property, and natural resources associated within state park boundaries. The rule identifies specific designated areas, within state parks, and defines specific off-highway vehicle (OHV) operations upon ice and places the responsibility upon the operator of each OHV.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

The Division of Parks and Recreation has not received any written comments associated with this rule, either in support or opposition, since the last five-year review.
