Beginning March 17, the Yellow Bay Unit of Flathead Lake State Park will be closed to the public for an upgrade of the 15-acre park between Bigfork and Polson.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has awarded a construction contract to pave roads, relocate campsites, install a new latrine, and add an adaptive kayak launching device at the park's boat ramp.

Due to public safety concerns, the park, including the boat ramp, will be closed during the project with an anticipated completion of July 1.
