Summary

The court held that DNR had authority to restrict non-winter use of heavy vehicles on the Rex Trail, although the specific statute principally relied on by the agency did not apply. The restrictions were authorized by the governing regulation and DNR's general statutory management authority, and the agency's decision was neither arbitrary nor unreasonable because the record supported its safety and resource-protection findings and reflected reasoned decision making.
