Salmon Season to Close July 7th

Idaho Fish and Game will close Chinook salmon fishing in the Pine Bar, Hammer Creek and Vinegar Creek sections of the lower Salmon River at the end of fishing Wednesday, July 7.

There you have it...get out that pole, license, and all the other gear and head over to Swiftwater RV Park, pitch a tent...and GO FISHING!  Catch a Salmon...anglers are reeling them in droves, and here on the soft & sweet banks of the Salmon River, you have room to stretch your legs and cast your line without bumping into another person doing the same thing.

This little Idaho campground is the best in the west, with great showers to to soothe the soul before you enjoy that evening refreshment, plug in the laptop to check emails on our free wifi service, and then get up and do it all over again before the season closes!

Cycling the Transamerica Bicycle Trail with Heidi

Okay...it's been a while since a post, but no worries...we're here.  There was so much rain in May and June, I think I drowned, but now I'm saved by awesome Idaho sunshine!

A very nice young woman, a Colgate graduate, cycling from coast to coast on the Transamerica Bicycle Trail Route - Adventure Cyclist - enjoyed a great tenting experience by the banks of the Salmon River at Swiftwater RV Park on July 1st.  Dear to my heart, rural community development - focusing on recreation in the Northwest - is a focus in her life.

Check out her blog as she writes about travel experiences, even the Silver Dollar Bar in White Bird, Idaho...yahoo!

Heidi, we wish you safe, speedy, and friendly cycling.  Thanks for staying at Swiftwater RV Park, and writing about the area.  Good  luck, and keep in touch!
