Rules and Regulations

THE PARK regulations are designed for the protection of the natural beauties and scenery as well as for the comfort and convenience of visitors. The following synopsis is for the general guidance of visitors, who are requested to assist the administration by observing the rules. Full regulations may be seen at the office of the superintendent and ranger station.

Guide Service.
No person is permitted to enter the cave unless accompanied by the superintendent or other park employee or a competent guide.

Fires.
Light carefully, and in designated places. Extinguish completely before leaving camp, even for temporary absence. Do not guess your fire is out—know it.

Camps.
Use designated camp grounds. Keep the camp grounds clean. Combustible rubbish shall be burned on camp fires and all other garbage and refuse of all kinds shall be placed in garbage cans or pits provided for the purpose. Dead or fallen wood may be used for firewood.

Trash.
Do not throw paper, lunch refuse, kodak cartons, chewing-gum paper, or other trash over the rim, or walks, trails, roads, or elsewhere. Carry until you can burn in camp or place in receptacle

Automobiles.
Careful driving is required at all times for protection of yourself and other visitors. Your car must be equipped with good brakes, horn, and lights. Passing on curves is prohibited. Obey traffic rules. Tractors with logs or vehicles without tires are strictly prohibited.

Park Rangers.
The rangers are here to help and advise you. When in doubt ask a ranger. Rangers at park headquarters and the several stations will be glad to help you plan your activity while in Wind Cave and to explain the regulations.
