PacifiCorp Opens Lewis River Recreation Sites for the 2025 Summer Season
ARIEL, Wash. (May 16, 2025) —PacifiCorp’s Lewis River recreation parks and sites will be open to the public for the 2025 summer season.
Starting Friday, May 23, 2025, all Lewis River recreation parks and sites will be open. However, Beaver Bay Park and Campground will remain closed for the entire 2025 recreation season due to a park renovation project. Camping opportunities for Summer 2025 are available at Cresap Bay Campground, Cougar Campground and Swift Forest Camp.
Reservation is also available for designated dispersed shoreline sites on Yale and Swift Reservoirs (boat-in access only). You can review further details on our website.
PacifiCorp does not allow campfires at the dispersed shoreline campsites due to the remote nature of these campsites and the risk of wildfire. Campers are responsible for managing their own sanitation as these sites are primitive with no restroom facilities.
For the safety and enjoyment of all visitors, please follow all recreation site rules and watch for changing conditions of reservoir elevations and streamflow. For a full description of the company’s Lewis River recreation sites and amenities, please visit our website.
