Meadow Lake FAS is located 6 miles north of Ennis, MT, along the north shore of Ennis Lake and is approximately 8 acres in size. This site has 10 camping spots with one vault latrine and is a popular spot for walk in boat access to the lake. Recreation use has significantly increased across FWP fishing access sites, particularly those that have camping available. Meadow Lake FAS is a popular FAS site in the Madison River corridor due to the proximity of Ennis, Bozeman, Big Sky, and West Yellowstone.

FWP is proposing to expand existing camping and recreational opportunities at Meadow Lake FAS by adding 5 additional camping sites and a new rollout dock for hand launching personal watercraft. To help support this additional infrastructure, there will updates to the road including an expansion of the loop to accommodate more campsites along with a new ingress/egress to allow for one-way traffic access to the site which will be safer for the visitors to use. The project also includes the development of a new day use parking area to access the new boat launch, and an additional ADA vault latrine to accommodate the new campsites.
