This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast, host Downrigger Dale interviews Megan Buecking, Executive Director of the Montana State Parks Foundation. They discuss the Foundation's efforts to enhance state parks through fundraising and donations, the latest visitation records, and exciting developments, including a new state park on the horizon.

Montana State Parks is now accepting reservations for camping, lodging, and tours. Most sites can be booked up to three months in advance (with a seven-night max per site). Blackfoot River Corridor float-in campsite reservations open March 2 by phone only, with required fire pans, food storage, and portable toilet systems for overnight floaters.
