Blackfoot Challenge

The Blackfoot Challenge, with the help of the University of Montana, is gathering input on recreation issues across the Blackfoot watershed so it can come up with some options for managing recreation.

On the evening of July 22, the Blackfoot River flow near the bridge dropped below 500 cubic feet per second, less than half of what the median flow is for this time of year.

Over the past century, the Blackfoot Valley has been a source of livelihood for many but hasn’t always been treated well. Now, with the help of some partners and federal money, some areas will be restored to a healthier condition.
