148.630 Classes of trails established. The state system of trails shall be composed of: <br>(1) State scenic trails, which will be extended trails so located as to provide maximum potential for the appreciation of natural areas and for the conservation and <br>enjoyment of the significant scenic, historic, natural, ecological, geological, and <br>cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails pass. Each of these trails <br>will be limited exclusively to foot use, except that the use of horses or off-road <br>motorized vehicles or nonmotorized bicycles may also be permitted on segments of <br>scenic trails where specifically designated by the department. Because of their <br>extended length, the state scenic trails shall be supplemented by support facilities <br>but only on that part of a trail which is in a state park or recreation area. Such <br>support facilities may include, where deemed necessary and feasible, primitive <br>shelters, fireplaces, safe water supply, and other related public-use facilities. These <br>facilities shall comply with the state's health standards. No open wood fires shall be <br>permitted on state scenic trails except in areas with support facilities specifically <br>designated for such purpose. (2) State recreation trails, which will provide a variety of outdoor recreation uses in or reasonably accessible to urban areas. These trails may be of the following types: <br>foot, horse, off-road motorized vehicles or nonmotorized bicycles as specifically <br>designated by the department. (3) Connecting or side trails, which will provide additional points of public access to state recreation trails, state scenic trails, or which will provide connections between <br>such trails. They shall be of the nature of the trails they serve. History: Created 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 288, sec. 4.
