TOWNSEND – York’s Islands Fishing Access Site on the Missouri River has reopened.
The site was closed in December due to flooding. Ice jams and flooding here have receded, allowing public access to resume.
Partial and full closures are still in effect for some fishing access sites affected by seasonal flooding. To see where site closures and waterbody restrictions are in place, visit fwp.mt.gov/news/current-closures-restrictions.
As river flows rise this spring, recreationists should keep in mind that dangerous conditions can arise suddenly. Learn more about safe boating practices at fwp.mt.gov/activities/boating.
