Swasey’s Beach Campground in Utah is a prime spot for outdoor fun along the scenic Green River. The Swasey’s Rapid Boat Ramp, essential for the Desolation/Gray Canyon River Trip, has undergone significant upgrades thanks to the Great American Outdoors Act Legacy Restoration Fund! 🚤✨

These upgrades support fishing, boating, and outdoor enjoyment along the beautiful Green River. Come experience the wonders of our public lands!

Thanks to the Great American Outdoors Act Legacy Restoration Fund, a new creek crossing at Alkali Creek in South Dakota now provides safer, easier access to picnic areas at Fort Meade Campground and the Centennial Trail.

Investments like these help preserve America’s public lands, improve access for visitors, and strengthen outdoor recreation opportunities that support local communities.

This Fishing and Boating Week, we're celebrating how the Great American Outdoors Act Legacy Restoration Fund is expanding outdoor access across Bureau of Land Management public lands and waterways.

At Carbella Recreation Site in Montana, we replaced an outdated boat launch with a new, wider concrete boat ramp, improving access to the Yellowstone River and making it easier and safer for visitors to get out on the water.

With the new boat launch in place, more outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy whitewater rafting, floating, boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing on this scenic waterway.
