Decision Notice Lone Pine State Park Archery Range Land Acquisition & Archery Range Expansion
Dec 17, 2021 4:11 PM
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is moving forward with the proposed purchase of 9.3 acres of property that would add capacity to the existing Lone Pine State Park archery range. A trail addition through the new property would add 500 yards of new trail to the current archery target route. This proposal would take advantage of a Pittman Robertson Act grant, administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, that is aimed at increasing public shooting sport opportunities. The current range at Lone Pine offers six shooting stations and has seen a significant increase in use. Self-registration at the Lone Pine range indicates a 30% increase in use in the past few years.
A draft EA was released for public comment from November 10 to December 10, 2021. 13 public comments were received. All issues and impact concerns raised by commenters are addressed in the decision notice.
