Great riverside stop

I stopped here for an overnight in mid November.

The road goes down into the canyon at the dam. There is camping both above and below the dam. I camped above the dam, but if I did it again, I would go below. This time of year there is morning sun below the dam. Also more spots. People arrive in the morning to boat above the damn as well so if you don’t want to hear that, definitely go below.

Barely any cell service in the canyon but plenty up top.

Roads are good.

Awesome sunset views

Great area on the bluffs above the Snake River and Swan Falls Dam with beautiful sunset and sunrise views. Pretty level area not far from the main road. Only caution is that some areas had a lot of nails where they burned pallets. Stay clear of any fire rings. Fires are not allowed.
