Minn. R. agency 158, ch. 6105, RUM RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, pt. 6105.1460
As provided for in this management plan, the recreation management policy is to provide for the orderly use of public lands and waters within the wild, scenic, and recreational river land use districts. The development of selected land- and river-oriented recreational facilities and the maintenance of these will help protect the rights of private landowners, ensure quietude, prohibit trespassing, and maintain the essential quality of wild and scenic river land use districts, as provided for in part 6105.0210, subpart 1. A specific recreation management policy shall be the enforcement of the statutes and regulations pertaining to littering (Minnesota Statutes, section 609.68 and part 6105.0210, subpart 2) and the promotion and advertising of a carry-in, carry-out philosophy, that is, for river users to take their trash home with them.
The recreational use of the Rum Wild, Scenic, and Recreational River and adjacent state lands will be regulated when and where considered necessary by the commissioner to ensure that the use does not adversely affect the values which qualified the river for designation.
As provided for in part 6105.0100, subpart 3 and the management plan, the development of public or private recreational facilities within the wild, scenic, and recreational river land use districts shall conform to the design specification guidelines shown in part 6105.0940 and the management plan.
