For Release: February 08, 2010

To more equitably accommodate the heavy public demand for group use shelters at Canyon Ferry Reservoir, the Bureau of Reclamation is conducting a random drawing for group use shelter reservation requests. To be eligible for the drawing, group use shelter reservation request forms must be received at the Canyon Ferry Office by close of business on February 17. The results of the drawing will be made available no later than 1:00 p.m. on February 18. Reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis for locations and dates still available after the February 18 drawing.

Reservation request forms and additional information can be obtained from Reclamation's Canyon Ferry Office at 7700 Canyon Ferry Road, Helena, MT 59602 or by calling 406-475-3921. Reservation forms and additional group use information can also be found at the following website: http://www.usbr.gov/gp/mtao/canyonferry/index.cfm.
