Letter: Check new law about fences and land access

To the editor:

The new Indiana Trails Liability Law only protects land owners from liability when people access the trail from their property, not when people access their property from the trail, and in most areas, that’s what the big problem is: people getting off the trail. The law only addresses accessing the trail, not exiting. Read it: HEA 1115.

No-trespassing signs and fences already cover it all, but you better get your fence now because trail operators are required to erect the fence and they are wanting to get out of that in the next Indiana General Assembly.
