WINTER ICE JAM DAMAGE
Mallard's Rest Fishing Access Site Remains Closed
This winter’s ice jam near
Mallard’s Rest Fishing Access Site (FAS) on the Yellowstone River south of
Livingston resulted in a number of maintenance issues requiring the site to
remain closed to the public until repairs to the interior roadway, latrines,
boat ramp and a several camp sites can be completed. The site has been closed
since mid-December.

area in the right foreground is where the campsite loop is located as well as
access to the boat ramp.)
FWP anticipates Mallard’s
Rest FAS to re-open by the second week of April.
Additionally, Ennis FAS on
the Madison River remains closed due to ice jam related flooding issues.
However, on Monday, FWP was able to re-open nearby Valley Garden FAS on the
Madison River.
FWP appreciates the public’s
patience as closed sites are readied for safe public use.
Information on FAS closures
(and closures related to fire and drought) can be found on FWP’s website by
following links on the “Restrictions, Closures and Reopenings” page. |
