RECREATION -- Adds to existing law to provide for the assumption of risk and legal responsibility by recreational participants for injuries associated with recreational activities in state parks.

RECREATION

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Every year, in rapidly increasing numbers, residents of the state of Idaho and non-residents enjoy the recreational value of Idaho's state parks. There are inherent risks in the outdoor recreational activities provided within the state parks which should be understood and assumed by each visitor. The inherent risks in the recreational activities undertaken by park visitors are essentially impossible to eliminate by the Department. It is the purpose of this idea to define the area of responsibility and affirmative acts for which the Department's parks shall be liable for loss, damage, or injury, and to define those risks for which the visitors expressly assume and for which there can be no recovery.
