Indian Road Group Use Shelter

Indian Road Group Use Shelter is at the southern end of Canyon Ferry Reservoir, just north of Townsend, attached to Indian Road Campground. It can accommodate up to 75 people. The 30 by 44 foot shelter offers eight picnic tables, two grills, and accessible vault toilets just across the parking lot. There is a small fishing pond for the use of children and individuals with disabilities. The parking lot is graveled with ample space, and there is a ramp used by anglers and paddlers when the water level permits. The adjacent Indian Road Campground is first come, first served, as is this area. Canyon Ferry Reservoir offers a wide range of year-round recreation. Water activities run from swimming and fishing to sailing and motor-boating; canoeists and kayakers explore the many quiet backwater bays; jet skiers, windsurfers and water skiers skim the summer waves, while winter draws ice fishermen, ice boaters and skaters. The shelter sits along the Missouri River between the Big Belt and Elkhorns mountain ranges. Young willows line the small fishing pond, and mature cottonwoods provide shade in the grassy areas around the pavilion. The Canyon Ferry Wildlife Management Area, managed by FWP, is close by, offering ample opportunities for bird watching and paddling during permitted seasons.
