Arsenault v. State

*99OPINION OF THE COURT

Egan Jr., J.

Where, as here, a visitor to a state park passes by and fails to observe posted warning signs — expressly alerting him or her to the very danger ultimately encountered — ventures into a prohibited location and sustains injuries as a result thereof, and the state has otherwise maintained the park in a reasonably safe condition, such visitor must bear responsibility for the resulting misadventure. Accordingly, for the reasons that follow, we reverse the underlying order and grant defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the claim against it.
