This law makes it a crime to unlawfully enter this park, take anything from it without permission, or damage or waste park land or property. It also punishes breaking the park's rules and regulations. Anyone convicted can be fined up to $1,000, jailed up to twelve months, or both, at the court's discretion.

This section makes several things illegal inside the park. It is unlawful to intrude on the park without permission, to take, or "appropriate," any object found in the park without permission, or to cause unauthorized injury or waste of any kind to the park's land or other public property. It is also unlawful to violate any of the rules and regulations set under this section. If someone is convicted of any of these offenses, the court may fine them up to $1,000, imprison them for up to twelve months, or impose both the fine and the imprisonment together. The choice of punishment is left to the court's discretion.
