Colorado state owned lands - Division of Wildlife, access and use rules Options

[CP]

State owned lands come into conversations now and then concerning prospecting and mining so we thought this would be helpful information to have on hand.
Remember folks state owned lands are not National Forests or BLM lands. They are state owned and regulated completely seperately. Mining isn't prohibited but, it is only allowed when you have a written agreement (lease with royalties agreements) ongoing with the state land trust board.
These areas would include state wildlife areas which are set up for "recreational wildlife uses" to be specific. The following PDF explains the general rules concerning use/access of the state lands regulated through the Colorado Division of Wildlife in lease agreements for the specific use mentioned above.
Prospecting within state owned lands is prohibited without written permission from the board (unless posted otherwise onsite/office)

Hey Chris,


When you drive up to the claim, which road do you take? The reason I am asking is, coming from town there is two different roads that lead up to the top of the mountain. I always take the second road and right in the middle of the hill before you get to the top is a sign that, "I believe", says "Entering State Lands..... ect.. ect..". But I thought it ended at the top of the mountain and everything to the south, "back down the hill" was included in this area. Could it be they have that mountain on the list just for that track of land?
