GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) - Montana officials have again closed public access to parts of the Missouri River after extensive partying in the area.
The Great Falls Tribune reports (https://gftrib.com/29StdZk ) that the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission voted Wednesday to reinstate a seasonal closure at White Bear Fishing Access Site. The gates will be locked beginning Friday.
The closure ends in September, when duck and big-game hunters will be allowed access to the river.
The state Fish, Wildlife and Park Service is considering long-term plans to sell or trade the land. The agency says it has become an attraction for troubling activity like underage drinking, illegal drug use, fights, vandalism and litter.
