(Fort Benton) The Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument is planning to update their recreation business plan, which would include a change in fees, and wants to hear the publics opinion.
The draft plan update proposes fee increases at developed recreation sites where fees are currently charged and visitor amenities require frequent maintenance, such as campgrounds.
Two significant proposed changes include the elimination of visitor fees for touring the Missouri Breaks Interpretive Center and the introduction of a new fee for overnight camping at sites adjacent to the boat launch at the Wood Bottom Recreation Area.
The Bureau of Land Management said the plan addresses a large and diverse recreation program that includes developed campgrounds, general recreation sites and boat launches, along with visitor amenities such as vault toilets or dump stations.
