Minnesota
Minnesota’s school trust lands are largely open to the public for responsible recreational activities including boating, camping, hiking, hunting, mountain biking, off-highway vehicle (OHV) use, rock hounding, skiing and snowmobiling.

Public access, however, is restricted when school trust lands are under a contract to generate revenue for K-12 public education. Common examples that limit access include mineral exploration and active mining, timber sales, grazing contracts, communication towers, and aggregate development.

New Mexico
A $35/year permit is required to recreate on New Mexico State Trust Land. This pass does not permit camping. Camping is allowed on leased State Trust Land with the written permission of the surface lessee. To determine lessee and contact information, please contact our Field Operations Division at (505) 827-5851.

In the new 2016-2017 State Game Commission Easement, Commissioner Dunn agreed to allocate several pre-approved camping areas for hunters throughout the state, as well as ensuring that critical access points remain open and available to the hunters with clearly identified signs. Camping sites and access points are still being determined and will soon be available on the website for review.

Camping is allowed on most trust lands throughout the state for up to 15 consecutive days. Any use longer than 15 days requires that you obtain a right of entry permit. Protect your privilege to camp on trust lands by observing the following:

Limit camping to existing campsites.
Select a campsite on a durable surface or non-vegetated area at least 200 feet from water.
Do not camp in wet areas or fragile meadows.
Observe all fire restrictions and regulations. If you must build a fire, use an existing fire ring. LEAVE CAMPFIRES DEAD OUT.
No garbage collection is provided: PACK-IT-IN, PACK-IT-OUT.
Use stationary toilet facilities where available or your own portable toilet whenever possible. When a toilet is not available, bury solid human waste 6-8 inches deep.
Firewood may be removed from trust lands through permit only. Campfire wood collection of dead and downed wood is allowed.
DO YOUR PART by modeling appropriate behavior and leaving the area better than you found it.
