BLM To Repair Stairs At Canaday Boat Launch
The Bureau of Land Management’s Dillon Field Office will close the Canaday Boat Launch on the Madison River July 13-14 in order to install stairs adjacent to the boat ramp.
This is the final phase of the restoration project that included reconstruction of the damaged streambank.
Canaday is located on the Madison River east of Norris between Black’s Ford Fishing Access Site and Warm Springs Boat Launch.
The site is noted for the presence of outstanding pre-historic and historic resources. It was a key stop along the historic Bozeman Trail and the location of the Canaday brothers historic bridge crossing which was constructed under charter by the first Territorial Legislature.
For more information regarding the closure or the planned project, please contact the Dillon Field Office at (406) 683-8000.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
