Your proposed edit to include the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) drone ban at Devil's Lake State Park has been approved. This aligns with the DNR's regulations, which prohibit drone use in state parks without authorization. The added context about the park's quartzite bluffs and high visitor density enhances the understanding of the area's drone flight considerations. The outline has been updated to accurately represent the restricted area.
