River access
C. Ben White Memorial Fishing Access Site
And now, through a partnership with Montana Fish, Wildlife, & Parks, Ravalli County Fish and Wildlife Association, the Bitterroot community, and critical funding from the Ravalli County Open Lands Bond Program, Bitterroot Audubon, and Five Valleys Adubon, nearly 100 acres of forest and riverfront will soon be protected forever, and open to the public.

About this place
More than just the Stomberg and White families have benefited from forested land and river access. Locals and visitors alike have been coming here to “High Bank” to wade fish, launch boats, and spend time together with family and friends for decades. All because of the generosity of Marty and her family.
