12.8.701    DESIGNATION OF PRIMITIVE FISHING ACCESS SITES

(1) The department hereby designates certain fishing access sites as "primitive fishing access sites." The primary purpose of a fishing access site (FAS) owned or controlled by the department is to provide public access to public waters. Many of these sites should have a low level of development in keeping with their primary purpose. Therefore, future developments of primitive sites will be commensurate with the department's ability to maintain the sites for the primary purpose of providing access to public waters.
