Do they control the entrance or just an open gate?

 

Before the flood, its just a open gate..

IDK what they are going to do after the "Road Closed" and "Walking Access Only" signs come down

 

I can see somebody abandoning a vehicle without any accountability when entering.

 

o They usually get tracked down and fined when they leave them...

and you have to have insurance and license on them when you are down there.. the game and fish, army corps and sheriff to checks down there.

 

Thats good, how many acres or sq miles is the area?

 

ummmm, I don't remember off hand...

 

where is the park, what town is it near?

 

Just South of Bismarck.. Called Kimbal Bottoms, or "the Desert"

Yes.....its Friday!
Busy day yesterday with over 2 hrs overtime.
Still got in 70 mile bike ride after I dropped the diesel off for ball joint work.
Have a great day my FTE friends!

 

Nice pics, Dave. I was wondering about how it was looking down there. Have you heard or seen if McLean Bottoms is open?

I was up to Smith Grove, south of Sanger Boat Landing, two weeks ago and the water was still up around the trees. I'm curious to know if the water came up on the Knife River in Stanton enough to over-take some of the larger trees there, as well. I've been told the second largest tree in the state is in the park on the east side of town. The tree is huge, but I don't know if it is actually rated #2 in the state for size.
