(4) &quot;Wilderness type recreation&quot; shall mean activities such as fishing, hunting, canoeing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, exploring, archaeological and <br>scientific investigation, and scenic and aesthetic enjoyment, which utilizes and <br>protects to the highest degree the primitive and natural values of the area.

(6) &quot;Access point&quot; shall mean an area along the stream under public ownership, or under easement acquired by agreement with a private landowner.
