2 Who enforces whatever controls their are,
Rangers of the USFS and USNPS can be law enforcement, but
usually the BLM are not. As a default, most enforcement takes
place at the county level.

Yep, seems to be that the Sheriff handles this stuff along w/ S&R in the
US.

3 Is pass/fee/photo registeration required,
Rarely. The usual exceptions tend to be highly frequented
National Parks, some Forests near heavy traffic urban areas, etc.
It is typically easy to find out.

Some places you need registration, handled by the USFS:

Other places you're simply on your own:

3 What penalties are mandated: warning citation, fines, jail-time,
etc.
Warnings tend to be at the disgression of the enforcing officer.
Various Civil or local codes determine fines, etc.
All this is challengeable and in fact is daily in courts.

When you cross a "Closed" boundary, it's about $350 here in Summit Co., Xxxx.


Canada: contact places like Environment Canada.

Outside of crossing "Closed" boundaries, it appears that in Canada, you can go just about anywhere you wish. Of course there could be temporary wildlife closures/public safety, etc..

Retired already? Thinking about moving to a snowier climate or planning
on consulting? Our road to the High Country is opening soon...still plenty of snow up high.
