89.18 ROADS THROUGH STATE FORESTS, PERMITS.
No public highway, other than a state trunk highway, shall be established or laid out through
any state forest as the same shall be created and withdrawn from public sale and entry by existing
or subsequent act, without the consent of the commissioner, certified in writing to the public
authority having power to establish or lay out such highway. In any judicial proceeding affecting
the laying out of a highway, the court may either sustain or reverse the action of the commissioner
as the court, in its discretion, may deem proper. The limitations and restrictions provided in this
section shall not apply to state-owned lands which have not been expressly withdrawn from sale
and created and reserved as state forests. No state forest lands or right or easement therein shall be
taken by eminent domain for any purpose without the consent of the commissioner, certified in
writing to the authority or corporation exercising such power of eminent domain.
