§ 11919 State Water Recreation Areas

This law says that places where people can have fun, like parks or picnic areas, that are built near big water projects owned by the state are officially called 'recreational areas'.

Key Takeaways

  • •If the state builds a fun place near a big water project, it's called a 'recreational area'.
  • •This includes places like parks, picnic spots, or trails by lakes or dams.
  • •It just gives a name to these places, so everyone knows what they're for.

Example

Imagine the state builds a big dam and creates a lake. Next to the lake, they set up a park with picnic tables, walking trails, and a playground.

This law says that park is now an official 'recreational area' because it's a fun place for people to visit and it's connected to the state's water project.
