f you're told to leave and you don't, that's (probably) trespass. Formal written notice is not required.

There are some exceptions and defenses to a charge of trespass, for example "Justification by Law", which means that if there is a specific law that says you have the right to enter the land, then you have the right to enter the land even if the landowner doesn't want you there.

Every state has its own laws regarding trespassing and trespass warnings. In order for someone to be convicted of trespassing a property that is otherwise accessible by the public, one has to be given a reasonable warning that he or she is not allowed on the property and that he or she can be arrested the next time that person is seen on the property. This notice can be given in writing by the manager of the property in some states, while in others these warnings are required to be issued by the police.
