I like it when nice people who pick up after themselves safely use our land to be honest. I see them on the camera rockhounding, or fly fishing. But I had to give the bad actors a warning.
Literally the only thing I can imagine that would make me want to litter or steal.

The biggest problem with the sign is that it seems to give anyone and everyone permission to access your land and potentially invalidates any no trespassing signs you may have posted.
In context, “Nice folks welcome” could be construed as you literally welcoming anyone, by any definition of ‘nice’, to access your property whether you know about them specifically or not.
Depending upon your state and county laws, you may also be waving any liability protections available to you by actively inviting those who would otherwise be trespassers on your property.
I don’t think any of that is really your intent, but that doesn’t actually change the result. You might want to ask a lawyer about it as it applies to your personal liability and local regulations.
Words do have legal power, even a single line on a homemade sign.
Just something to think about. 🤷

I would put a large “NO TRESPASSING, PERMISSION REQUIRED. YOU ARE ON CAMERA”
Good actors will ask for permission. Bad actors won’t and it’s easy to monitor them. This reduces liability.

You need it in Spanish. I like it though.

Sounds like you’re inviting everyone. I can see this ending poorly.
I would stick with a “no trespassing” sign like others have stated. The responsible ones will ask for permission.

Put a few body-sized mounds of dirt nearby?
You got it, sign.

Not your river either
