LIBBY, Mont. March 10, 2021 – The USDA Forest Service on March 8, 2021,
announced investment funding for Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) projects that will address critical deferred maintenance and improve transportation and recreation infrastructure on national forests in the Northern Region.
The investment will impact visitors by leveraging National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Funds provided by Congress.
Authorized projects on the Kootenai National Forest include:
– Ross Creek Ancient Cedar Grove Boardwalk – construction
– Kootenai Boat Launches and Dock Replacements – repair of Rexford Bench, and replacement of docks at Koocanusa Marina, Dorr Skeels, and Bad Medicine Boat Launches.
– Rexford Bench Recreation Complex Water and Wastewater System Reconstruction – design
– Recreation Sites Campfire Ring Replacement –planned this year at Yaak River, Bad Medicine, Rocky Gorge, and Peck Gulch Campgrounds.

sixty miles of maintenance projects planned this year.

– Kootenai Campground Reconstruction MT – planning and design this year of Howard Lake Campground, Timberlane Campground, and North Dickey Campground reconstruction.
These investments are made possible by the newly created National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund, established in 2020 by the Great American Outdoors Act. These funds will allow the Forest Service to implement infrastructure improvement projects essential to the continued use and enjoyment of
national forests lands.
“The GAOA projects will allow the Kootenai National Forest to accomplish much needed maintenance work at some of our recreation sites on the forest,” Kootenai Forest Supervisor Chad Benson said. “We look forward to implementing these projects.”
The projects will also serve as a catalyst for economic development and
employment opportunities in rural communities. These new investments will strengthen shared stewardship of national forests and grasslands by expanding the Forest Service work with public and private partners.
