A. 1.
The purpose of this section is to encourage landowners to make land available to
the public for outdoor recreational purposes by limiting their liability to
persons entering upon and using such land and to third persons who may be
damaged by the acts or omissions of persons going upon these lands. 2. As
used in this section: a.
"land" means real property, roads, water, watercourses, private ways,
buildings, structures, and machinery or equipment when attached to realty. The
term "land" shall not include any land that is used primarily for
farming or ranching activities or to any roads, water, watercourses, private
ways, buildings, structures, and machinery or equipment when attached to realty
which is used primarily for farming or ranching activities, b.
"outdoor recreational purposes" includes any of the following, or any
combination thereof: hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, camping, picnicking,
hiking, pleasure driving, jogging, cycling, other sporting events and
activities, nature study, water skiing, jet skiing, winter sports, and viewing
or enjoying historical, archaeological, scenic, or scientific sites, c.
"owner" means the possessor of a fee interest, a tenant, lessee,
occupant, or person in control of the land, and d.
"charge" means the admission price or fee asked in return for
invitation or permission to enter or go upon the land. The term
"charge" shall not include a license or permit fee imposed by a
governmental entity for the purpose of regulating the use of land, a water or
park area, or lake reservation and shall not include hunting, fishing, boating,
and other license and permit fees. B. An
owner who provides the public with land for outdoor recreational purposes owes
no duty of care to keep the land safe for entry or use by others, or to give
warning to persons entering or using the land of any hazardous conditions,
structures, or activities. C. 1.
Except as otherwise provided by this section, an owner who provides the public
with land for outdoor recreational purposes shall not: a. be
presumed to extend any assurance that the land is safe for any purpose, b.
incur any duty of care toward a person who enters or uses the land, or c.
assume any liability or responsibility for any injury to persons or property
caused by the act or omission of a person who enters or uses the land. 2.
This subsection applies whether the person entering or using the land is an
invitee, licensee, trespasser, or otherwise. D.
This section shall not apply if: 1. Any
charge is made or is usually made for entering or using any part of the land; or
2. Any
commercial or other activity for profit directly related to the use is conducted
on any part of the land. E. 1.
An owner of land leased to the state or to other public entity for outdoor
recreational purposes owes no duty of care to keep the land safe for entry or
use by others, or to give warning to persons entering or using the land of any
hazardous conditions, structures, or activities. Any owner who leases or
subleases land to the state or other public entity for outdoor recreational
purposes shall not: a. be
presumed to extend any assurance that the land is safe for any purpose, b.
incur any duty of care toward a person who enters or uses the leased land, or c.
become liable or responsible for any injury to persons or property caused by the
act or omission of a person who enters or uses the leased land. 2.
This subsection applies whether the person entering or using the leased land is
an invitee, licensee, trespasser, or otherwise, notwithstanding any other
section of law. F. 1.
Except as provided in this section, no person is relieved of liability which
would exist for want of ordinary care or for deliberate, willful, or malicious
injury to persons or property. The provisions shall not create or increase the
liability of any person. 2.
This section shall not relieve any owner of any liability for the operation and
maintenance of structures affixed to real property by the owner for use by the
general public. G. By
entering or using land, no person shall be deemed to be acting as an employee or
agent of the owner whether the entry or use is with or without the knowledge or
consent of the owner. H. The
provisions of this section shall not apply to any land that is used primarily
for farming or ranching activities or to roads, water, watercourses, private
ways, buildings, structures, and machinery or equipment when attached to realty
which is used primarily for farming or ranching activities. Sections
