Project Description
Tenderfoot Creek is an important tributary that flows into the Smith River above the Canyon Depth camping site. Once all phases of the acquisition are complete this will guarantee public access in the future to 8,200 acres of land and enhance public access to intermingled National Forest lands including an adjacent roadless area. Fishing, hunting, horseback riding, camping, hiking, bird watching, snowmobiling and other recreational uses currently in that area would be enhanced by this acquisition along with the opportunity to view a very scenic waterfall on Tenderfoot Creek.
Purpose
The Tenderfoot property has been transferred to the USFS which will manage the property for recreational access, fisheries and riparian habitat enhancement, water quality protection, forest and range health and wildlife habitat enhancement.
Directions
Located in Meagher County in the Tenderfoot Creek drainage about 30 miles northwest of White Sulphur Springs within the Lewis and Clark National Forest.
Restrictions
None
