Special Notices & Closures 

  1. Site Closure - Partial Swinging Bridge FAS is downstream of a construction site and will likely experience increased public and commercial use due to displacement of boaters, recreationists, and anglers from Whitebird FAS. FWP is closing camping at Swinging Bridge FAS to allow for increased day use of the site from May 1 until July 23, 2026, to reduce conflicts through peak rafting season on the Stillwater River.
