HEAD

    Sec. 45b. Rules and regulations; leases; fish and game

STATUTE

      The said park shall be under the exclusive control of the
    Secretary of the Interior, whose duty it shall be, as soon as
    practicable, to make and publish such reasonable rules and
    regulations, not inconsistent with the laws of the United States,
    as he may deem necessary or proper for the care, protection,
    management, and improvement of the same, such regulations being
    primarily aimed at the freest use of said park for recreation
    purposes by the public and for the preservation from injury or
    spoliation of all timber, natural curiosities, or wonders within
    said park and their retention in their natural condition as far as
    practicable, and for the preservation of said park in a state of
    nature so far as is consistent with the purposes of this Act. Such
    rules and regulations shall permit the taking of fish by hook and
    line from the streams or lakes in said park, but at such seasons,
    during such times, and in such manner as may be directed by the
    Secretary of the Interior. Such rules and regulations, however,
    shall provide against the destruction of the wild life within said
    park, and the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to take all
    such measures as shall be necessary to fully carry out the objects
    and purposes of this Act. Said Secretary may, in his discretion,
    execute leases to parcels of ground not exceeding ten acres in
    extent at any one place to any one person or persons or company for
    not to exceed twenty years, when such ground is necessary for the
    erection of buildings for the accommodation of visitors. Such
    leases or privileges may be renewed or extended at the expiration
    of the terms thereof: Provided, That existing leases from the
    Department of Agriculture may be continued, in the discretion of
    the Secretary of the Interior, for so long as such extension is not
    detrimental to the public purposes for which the park is created.
