(PINE CREEK) – Governor Greg Gianforte joined Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) Director Christy Clark last week to cut the ribbon on the Siskin Island Fishing Access Site near Livingston to expand public access on the upper Yellowstone River.
Earlier this month, Montana FWP accepted the donation of the 82-acre island complex on the upper Yellowstone River for the creation of a new fishing access site. The island complex, now known as Siskin Island Fishing Access Site, is accessible by watercraft between Mallards Rest and Pine Creek fishing access sites, about 13 miles south of Livingston. The site was donated to Montana FWP by Trust for Public Land after they facilitated a donation from the previous landowners.
“It’s great to help cut the ribbon on Siskin Island to expand public access along the Yellowstone for Montanans to fish, float, and enjoy the outdoors,” Gov. Gianforte said. “The Yellowstone River is the longest free flowing river in the lower 48 and we are glad to play a part in keeping this river healthy and accessible for future generations.”
