Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has closed the northern portion of the Point of Rocks Fishing Access Site, according to a notice posted by the agency on June 15. The closure affects public access to that section of the site, though the agency's notice did not detail the specific reason or expected duration in the records captured.
Point of Rocks FAS sits along the Missouri River corridor, one of the more heavily used fishing access stretches in the Helena area, particularly during summer months when wade fishing and bank fishing draw anglers from across the region. Closures at FAS sites along this corridor have historically been tied to bank erosion, nesting wildlife, or facility maintenance.
Anglers planning to visit Point of Rocks should check the FWP website or contact the Helena-area FWP office directly for current conditions and the status of the northern section before heading out.
