Blackfoot River Closure Alert

Don’t miss this summer’s river closures near Milltown—starting mid-July, a key stretch of the Blackfoot River from the Weigh Station to under I-90 will be off-limits due to BNSF Railway bridge repairs. Safety first: heavy equipment and a temporary work bridge make floating or fishing risky. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks supports the closure, likely lasting until October—or longer if work continues. This isn’t new—state rules now allow such temporary shutdowns during construction, and a second phase next year could mean another closure. Your last chance to fish downstream? The Weigh Station. Plus, a short Gateway Trail section near Milltown State Park will also close starting June 16th for equipment access. Stay tuned for official dates via signs and the Montana FWP website—don’t get caught off guard. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
