Summary

The Court affirmed that the recreational‑use immunity of General Obligations Law § 9‑103 applies where the land is suitable for the listed activity, that suitability is judged by the land’s general characteristics rather than a temporary condition at the time of injury, and that no evidence of willful or malicious conduct was shown.
