OVERVIEW

Broadwater County, in coordination with the US Bureau of Reclamation, has developed a Master Plan for the Silos Recreation Area north of Townsend, MT. Building on the Framework Plan completed in 2018, the Master Plan outlines infrastructure and amenity improvements for a preferred development alternative based on evaluation of existing and projected conditions at the site, environmental constraints, and improvement costs. The Master Plan considers:

​

• Parking, access, and traffic flow

• Bay improvements such as excavation, protection, docks, and boat ramps

• Camping unit designs and amenities

• Facility amenities including restrooms, gazebos, and common/group areas

• Paths, trails, sidewalks, and accommodations for individuals with disabilities

• Landscape design concepts and vegetation

• Wet utilities including drinking water, sewer, and storm water

• Dry utilities including electric power, lighting, and communications

• Permitting and environmental clearances
