Built in 1901, this dam produces enough power to supply 18,000 homes! It harnesses one part of the 1.000 mile Snake River. I shot several pictures of the massive cliffs that the Snake River carved out over time. Very beautiful!

Like for camping?

I was just at Swan falls and thay are not open even though there website said thay are. So does anyone one know when thay will be open?

They are open. I have been out there multiple times this week. If you're looking for camping there's only a few spots and they were full by the time we pulled kayaks out of the water last night.

Can you drive across the dam?

No, but you can walk across it.

Is there anywhere to fish from the bank?

Kashia Nichols | Aug 20, 2019

Yes. There are several places below the dam to fish from the bank. Above the dam there are couple of docks and small green space area where I see folks fishing too. All of which are pretty close to the parking area and not a difficult walk.
