[RC] Duty to Maintain Trails - k s swigart

Nancy Reeds said:


I do need to state that without the liability immunity
I would have no trails to ride on.  No landowner in his
right mind would ever dedicate a public trail across his
land if he would be held liable for injuries that occurred on
"his" trail.


Since this statement is as true for public landowners (i.e. the State)
as it is for private landowners, please, please, PLEASE let us not
complain that the State has no duty to maintain trails so that they are
safe.  I can think of nothing that is more likely to close trails on
public land for all use, than to suggest that the State be held liable
for injuries that occur because trails were not "safely" maintained.
