  • Makoshika State Park Management Plan FINAL
    Makoshika State Park Management Plan FINAL October 2005 Developed by the Makoshika Advisory Committee and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Rifle Range EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Makoshika State Park is the largest park in the Montana State Parks System, covering over 11,500 acres of badlands in eastern Montana. The park, near Glendive, Montana, was added to the Montana State Parks system in 1953. To the Lakota-Sioux Indians, Ma-ko-shi-ka meant bad earth or bad land. Today, the park’s pine and juniper studded badland formations house the fossil remains of Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops. The park offers diverse amenities for visitors, including roads and hiking trails for park exploration, scenic vistas, campgrounds, a folf course, an amphitheater, a rifle range, and an archery range. A visitor center at the park entrance exhibits the site’s geologic, fossil, and prehistoric stories. The last plan written for Makoshika State Park was completed in 1984. The 2005 Makoshika State Park Management Plan updates previous planning efforts to reflect current issues and opportunities at the park. The plan offers a comprehensive vision and action plan for the park for the next 10 years by identifying issues important to the success of the park and providing actions for addressing them. These actions are scheduled to be implemented during the life of this plan, but may be subject to further research, impacts assessment, costs, available funding, personnel availability, and additional public comment. The proposed implementation timeline is included at the end of this document. In January 2004, a citizen advisory group was formed to analyze issues and develop management recommendations for the park.
