A plan to manage future development of the lake area in Yellowstone National Park is available for public review.

The area on the northwest shore of Yellowstone Lake is known for
its spawning streams and grizzly bear habitat. It is also home to
historic structures such as the Lake Hotel and the Fishing Bridge
Museum.

The proposed plan limits what development can occur at Lake
Village, Fishing Bridge and Bridge Bay, and addresses such things
as how to deal with old water and sewer lines in the area.

The public review period closes March 2.

Public meetings are being held in Cody on Wednesday; Bozeman,
Mont., on Feb. 15; and Jackson on Feb. 16.

Once comments are analyzed, the National Park Service will make
a decision on the final plan.
