Scenic and Hecreational Values <br /> <br />1. Prepl'oiect V').11!..es <br /> <br />Hattlesnake Heservoir site lies at the edge of a scenic section <br /> <br />of the Hocky lilountains. It might ,be said that the reservoir forms a minor <br /> <br />gateway to the more scenic sections of the foothills lying to the west. <br /> <br />The present value of the site lies in the passive recreational value <br /> <br />derived from passing through an area of wooded slopes and grassy meadows <br /> <br />ornamented with natural, wild flowers. <br /> <br />The area i.nvolved in the reserVoir site and. surrounding slopes is <br /> <br />too small to have any appreciable significance recreationally. Its valuo <br /> <br />is based on the fact that it is a part Of a larger area containing <br /> <br />appreciable recreatiomd value. <br /> <br />2.'
