Restricticted access still in place on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation

The Natural Resources Department of the Chippewa Cree Tribe on Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation said Friday afternoon that restrictions still were in place due to high water levels from rain earlier in the week.

Some parts of the mountains received more than 6 inches by Wednesday, leading to restrictions and flooding on Beaver Creek Park.

The post on the tribe's Facebook page Friday said the following restrictions would remain in place until further notice in both the Beaver Creek and Big Sandy Creek areas on the reservation:

• Day use in the mountains is permitted, but overnight camping is closed.

• Water levels remained high and significant damage occurred to some campgrounds and roadways. People were asked to stay on the main roadways.

• Campgrounds and roads not considered safe will be flagged and people are asked to adhere to the precautionary flagging.
