I was concerned about the liability issue also at first. However, here in Nebraska, we have a law that states that as long as the landowner is not receiving compensation for access, he/she is not liable for mishaps that occur unless he or she knowingly fails to make users aware of unusual hazards. People who are granted free access assume risk in exchange for access to the property. Now, if the land owner charges a fee or receives gifts in compensation, then he/she becomes liable for incidents that occur.
Now
THAT is a sensible law.
