Sec.  7.7  Rocky Mountain National Park.

    (a) Fishing. (1) Fishing restrictions, based on management 
objectives described in the park's Resources Management Plan, are 
established annually by the Superintendent.
    (2) The Superintendent may impose closures and establish conditions 
or restrictions, in accordance with the criteria and procedures of 
Sec.  Sec.  1.5 and 1.7 of this chapter, on any activity pertaining to 
fishing, including, but not limited to species of fish that may be 
taken, seasons and hours during which fishing may take place, methods of 
taking, size, creel, and possession limits.
    (3) Fishing in closed waters or violating a condition or restriction 
established by the Superintendent is prohibited.
    (b) Trucking Permits. (1) The Superintendent may issue a permit for 
trucking on a park road when the load carried originates and terminates 
within the counties of Larimer, Boulder, or Grand, Colorado.
    (2) The fee charged for such trucking over Trail Ridge Road is the 
same as the single visit entrance fee for a private passenger vehicle. A 
trucking permit is valid for one round trip, provided such trip is made 
in one day, otherwise the permit is valid for a one-way trip only.
    (3) The fees provided in this paragraph also apply to a special 
emergency trucking permit issued pursuant to Sec.  5.6(b) of this 
chapter.
    (c) Boats. (1) The operation of motorboats is prohibited on all 
waters of the park.
    (2) All vessels are prohibited on Bear Lake.

Sec.  2.15 of this chapter, dogs, cats, and other pets on leash, crated, 
or otherwise under physical restraint are permitted in the park only 
within 100 feet of the edge of established roads or parking areas, and

and other pets are prohibited in the backcountry and on established 
trails.
    (e)(1) On what route may I operate a snowmobile? Snowmobiles may be 
operated on the North Supply Access Trail solely for the purpose of 
gaining access between national forest lands on the west side of the 
park and the town of Grand Lake. Use of this trail for other purposes is 
not permitted. This trail will be marked by signs, snow poles or other 
appropriate means.
    (2) When may I operate a snowmobile on the North Supply Access 
Trail? The Superintendent will determine the opening and closing dates 
for use of the North Supply Access Trail each year, taking into 
consideration the location of wintering wildlife, appropriate snow 
cover, and other factors that may relate to public safety. The 
Superintendent will notify the public of such dates through one or more 
of the methods listed in Sec.  1.7(a) of this chapter. Temporary closure 
of this route will be initiated through the posting of appropriate signs 
and/or barriers.
