River Access: Montana Rancher Shows the Way

June 25, 2007 By: Marshall Cutchin

Gallatin Valley rancher Tim Crawford is annoyed that the Montana legislatured failed to guarantee river access for Montana anglers this spring. So he made up some signs and constructed gates that showed just how easy it is. “‘Landowners should understand it’s the public’s right of way, and not be churlish about sharing it,’ said Crawford, who has owned about 350 acres on both sides of the river for 20 years.” Scott McMillion in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
