Is Summit County ready to keep the world-class land from being loved to death?

Summit County residents are known to love their recreation, and a new program will allow them to give back to the community while exploring the great outdoors.

People who are found guilty could face a class B misdemeanor for engaging in prohibited uses or a class C misdemeanor for destroying signage indicating what activities are banned. Penalties can range from 90 days in jail and up to a $750 fine to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

This remarkable property is a retreat from the noise of urbanization and overcrowding. Lets keep it that way now and forever.

Around 20 people spoke during the meeting, nearly all of whom were in favor of the purchase. However, opinions primarily differed when it came to how the public should be allowed to use the land.
