Blackfoot River management plan unveiled

Posted:

Updated:

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials want to know what you think about a plan to better manage the popular Blackfoot River.

The primary proposals include continuing to manage for large numbers downstream from Whitaker Bridge, dealing with congestion in the river's upper sections, restricting camping along high-use stretches, exploring opportunities for overnight float trips, and if conditions worsen, then using a permit allocation system on certain stretches of the river.

FWP will release the report on October 14th and then will accept public comment through November 16th.

Officials say they plan to hold a pair of open houses to discuss the proposals. One is planned for October 19th in the Ovando School gymnasium, and the other is set for November 5th at the Holiday Inn Missoula Downtown.
