Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Trust Land Management Division (TLMD) and the United States Forest Service (USFS) are proposing to enter into a reciprocal easement agreement that would benefit the State by gaining motorized all lawful access to a block of State Trust land commonly referred to as the Palisades block. The State of Montana will be granted legal motorized right-of-way on designated Forest Roads. In addition to the State acquiring access to the Palisades block, the State of Montana will be granted legal motorized right-of-way in three separate areas on other National Forests to make the easement exchange provide each party with equal road miles. The United States Forest Service is also seeking a 20’ wide right-of-way to construct a non-motorized trail named The Old Ranger Trail. The proposed trail easement will be a separate grant and is not included in the easement exchange for motorized access
