“Board Asks Community for Input”
Broadwater County’s newly created recreation board for Canyon Ferry Lake is asking area residents to let them know what direction the community thinks the county should take on recreation at Canyon Ferry.
Board members Paul “Drifty” Orth, Brian Rooney and Jay Stocks will help the Broadwater County Commission develop ideas for how recreation at the lake’s south end could be improved. In order to do that, they need to know what the people who use the lake want – upgraded camping facilities, improved boat docks, or other facilities county residents think could make the south end a better place to recreate.
