Roseburg, Ore. – The Roseburg District Bureau of Land Management will temporarily close a portion of the Swiftwater Day Use area parking lot and the restrooms located near the fish platform, August 13-17. The closure is being done to allow work crews to complete sidewalk and parking lot repairs.
There will be roughly half of the normal available parking at the day use area during maintenance. Parking and restrooms are available across the bridge at the Swiftwater Trailhead parking area for the North Umpqua Trail.
The fish platform located below the bridge at the Swiftwater Day Use Area will still be accessible, however members of the public will need to walk a dirt path running next to the main walkway until work is complete.
The Swiftwater Day Use Area is located 22 miles east of Roseburg, OR, along highway 138.
