What does the Bureau of Reclamation say about seaplane operations?
Printer-friendly versionSeaplane operations
In August of 2004 the Bureau of Reclamation authorized the continued landing of seaplanes on Canyon Ferry Reservoir in Montana. Though not an achievement directly of the RAF, some of our board members and Montana Aeronautics worked hard to get this authorization. In particular Montana Aeronautics Director and RAF board member Debbie Alke and board member Mike Sidders participated with the Canyon Ferry Working Group and the Bureau.
