Comments 



Baker - Baker Pond, FAS, (Fallon Cc.) 10 acres. 



Bannack - Bannack State Monument, (Beaverhead Co.) 7 lots. 

 A few lots have been obtained at Bannack. It is hoped that 

 additional parcels can be acquired in the old townsite and it 

 can be preserved as Montana's first territorial capital. 



Bigfork - Wayfarer, SRA, (Flathead Co.) 62.42 acres. 



Following acquisition under the Long Range Building Program 



the Highway Department granted additional adjacent land includ- ' 



ing a highway recreation area. Development is planned for 



the 1971-72 fiscal year. 



Big Hole River - Fish Trap Creek, FAS, (Deer Lodge Co.) 50 acres, 

 This area, scheduled for development in the 1971-72 fiscal 

 year, will provide additional recreation facilities and pub- 

 lic access to one of Montana's most popular fishing streams.

Trjo Leggins. FAS, 30.21 acres. 



The recently completed Yellowtail Dam has reduced siltation 



and water temperatures in the Big Horn River. This has resulted 



in a revitalized trout stream and we have taken steps to make 



it available to the public. 



Boyd - Cooney Reservoir, SRA, (Carbon Co.) 1,000.00 acres. 

 The State Water Resources Board leased this land to the Fish 

 and Game Commission for $500.00 per year. Contracts for 

 construction of the recreation facilities will be let in the 

 1970-71 fiscal year. 



Dailey Lake - Daily Lake, FAS, (Park Co.) 122,57 acres. 

 The State Land Board set this area aside for recreation develop- 

 ment. This is an example of two state agencies cooperating 

 to add to the public's opportunity to enjoy outdoor recrea- 

 tion .

 This tract is in addition to other lands previously granted 

 by the Land Board. The recreation facilities are under con-
