North Dakota- A fishing pier designed for wheel chair accessibility has been installed at the Heart Butte Scout Reservation along the south shoreline of Lake Tschida. The pier is supported by a cement parking pad and walkway that allows wheelchair access.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation constructed the pier, with primary funding provided through a grant from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. The Bureau of Reclamation and Northern Lights Council of Boy Scouts of America also were major contributors.
Additional support was provided by Zachmeier Manufacturing of Mandan, Elgin Lions Club, AMVETS Post 9 in Bismarck, Lewis and Clark Wildlife Club, American Foundation for Wildlife’s Lake Tschida Fishing Tournament, Hettinger Rod and Gun Club, Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 2237 in Bismarck and 2451 in Mandan, Bismarck-Mandan Elk Lodge 1199 and the American Foundation for Wildlife’s Charitable Gaming in Glen Ullin.
Lake Tschida, also known as Heart Butte Reservoir, is located 15 miles south of Glen Ullin in Grant County.
