Highway 49 Crossing Area and Bridge:

This is one of the most popular swimming destinations but also the most crowded. Upriver destinations are also popular, but less so due to more remote and lengthy access.

A parking area is provided on the south side of river at the site of the picturesque old bridge. Due to popularity of the area, on summer weekends many have to park alongside Highway 49 on either side of the bridge.

See Purdon Crossing , Edwards Crossing, and Washington Destinations.
