Source excerpt

A trail easement may be created and handled like other easements, but only to the extent this chapter does not provide otherwise.

1. Trail easement. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a trail easement may be created, conveyed, recorded, assigned, released, modified, terminated or otherwise altered or affected in the same manner as other easements created by written instrument. [PL 1999, c. 371, §1 (NEW).] 2. Right or duty. No right or duty in favor of or against a holder arises under a trail easement unless the right or duty is accepted by the holder. [PL 1999, c. 371, §1 (NEW).] 3. Limitation. Except as provided in this chapter, a trail easement is unlimited in duration unless the instrument creating it provides otherwise. [PL 1999, c. 371, §1 (NEW).] 4. Interest. An interest in real property in existence at the time a trail easement is created is not impaired by the trail easement unless the owner of the interest is a party to the trail easement or consents to it. [PL 1999, c. 371, §1 (NEW).]
