Storey Ditch Boat Launch To Be Closed For Road Work
Improvements will be made to the access road at the Storey Ditch Boat Launch with work scheduled for Oct. 5-9, according to Bureau of Land Management officials.
The site, about 15 miles south of Ennis, will be closed to public use while road work is being done. When work is complete, the site will be reopened to the public.
The BLM’s Dillon Field Office administers the site and is in the process of completing upgrades to this river access site. For more information, please call 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. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.
