Site has drinking water, a group site, and requires a fee for out of state users (Montana residents do not have to pay a fee).

The ground surface of the play area within the defined boundaries is loose and unstable with an abrupt edge from the pathway, so adaptive mobility travel is possibly difficult.

Covered group picnic area with accessible tables may be officially reserved for activities, so call site manager for details. Electric outlets may be available, so ask site manager.
