• Since 1989, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has worked to remove barriers to create an accessible outdoor experience for all. For people with disabilities, barriers can deprive one the chance to enjoy Montana's great outdoors. Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, guarantees Montanans, and visitors, the right to equal access.

  FWP's Crossing the Barriers - 2006 reflects both the progress made and the challenges that remain as the agency continues to work to ensure that FWP sites and programs are available to everyone.

  FWP can boast that Crossing the Barriers has created accessibility at every FWP regional headquarters, fish hatchery visitor centers, many Fishing Access Sites and State Parks.

The site has FWP's Accessibility & Implementation Plans, regional lists of facilities rated by accessibility from "easy" to "most difficult", disability-related articles from Montana Outdoors magazine, descriptions of available outdoor recreation activities, and information on fee exemptions.
