The department of state parks and cultural resources has full

thereon. The department may adopt rules and regulations for the
government of the state park for the conservation of peace and
good order within the park, and for the preservation of the
property of the state therein, and of the property and people
situated and residing or being therein, and to promote the well
being of the people, and to declare what constitutes a nuisance
within the state park. Any person who violates any rule or
regulation adopted and published by the department is guilty of
a misdemeanor and shall be fined not less than five dollars
($5.00) and not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or
imprisoned for not more than six (6) months or both. Any
offender convicted under this act may be permitted, in lieu of
cash payment of a fine thus imposed, to work out the fine within
the state park, at the rate of five dollars ($5.00) an hour
until the amount of the fine is satisfied. Any circuit judge in
the fifth judicial district has jurisdiction of all offenses
under this article. A defendant convicted under this article has
a right to appeal to the district court as provided for appeals
from convictions in circuit courts and municipal courts. If any
lessee of the state or of the department shall refuse to comply
with the order, direction, rule or regulation of the department,
or to obey any law of the state defining and punishing nuisances
the department may immediately cancel the lease.
