Project Description
The Aspen Trails / Upper Prickly Pear Fishing Access Site project protects 266 acres in Lewis & Clark County. Originally, the parcel was slated to be developed into a high impact, 325 tract subdivision. When the development failed to materialize, Prickly Pear Land Trust stepped in with a fee title purchase of 30 acres which contain Prickly Pear creek and a conservation easement on the remaining 236 acres.
Purpose
Long term conservation plans include transferring the 30 acre parcel to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks to be used as a fishing access site. PPLT will continue to monitor the conservation easement in perpetuity.
Directions
Located in the Helena Valley on Prickly Pear Creek north of York Road and east of Interstate 15. It is the only fishing access site in the Helena Valley.
Restrictions
Please contact Prickly Pear Land Trust (406) 442-0490 for any restrictions.
