Montana’s Stream Access Rule is the gold standard for the entire country. In no other place does a rule like this exist, and it forms the backbone of public access to our shared waters across the state. Montanans support this law and have proven so by upholding it for over five decades, dispite continued challenges from private interests. 

Join BHA and a broad coalition of NGOs, businesses,and individuals who rely on public access for their livelihoods at the Stream Access Rally organized by our friends at Yellow Dog on Thursday, September 17th at 5:30pm to celebrate our shared values, and ensure that Montana's stream access rule is enjoyed perpetually by future generations. The event will feature speakers discussing the past, present and future of stream access in the state, and why its preservation is so important to every Montanan. Yellow Dog has also invited candidates for statewide office, as well as all Montana House and Senate candidates from Park, Madison and Gallatin counties to join us at the event.

The event will feature live music, food trucks, beer, and beverages! This is YOUR opportunity to show up and make it known how critical this issue is to you, your livelihood, and to any and all who understand the value of preserving Montana's stream access laws.
