Backpacking is deemed a use compatible with the wilderness management of the BWCA which may alleviate crowding along the waterways and which will encourage enjoyment of inland wilderness and lakes. The commissioner of natural resources may designate and improve a trails system. The commissioner shall solicit the United States Forest Service to enter into a joint management program for trails on state and federal lands as soon as practicable.
