CLARKSTON – Fairweather Fishing Access Site has been closed due to ice jams and flooding.

The combination of unsafe conditions includes flooded areas throughout the site, moving ice and debris, and potentially unstable trees. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks will reopen the site when conditions allow.

Fairweather Fishing Access Site is along the Missouri River, about 8 miles downstream of Missouri Headwaters State Park.

Recreationists are encouraged to use caution when visiting rivers because of unseen hazards, as well as flow and ice conditions that can change suddenly. For more information about river recreation safety, visit fwp.mt.gov/activities/boating/river-ethics.
