KUNA, Idaho — The walkway on Swan Falls Dam that crosses the Snake River south of Kuna will be closed Monday, May 3, through Wednesday, May 5, while crews complete maintenance work on the dam.

Hikers, mountain bikers and anglers looking to cross the river can do so at Celebration Park about 10 miles downstream from Swan Falls Dam. The day-use park, boat ramps, campsites and fishing areas at Swan Falls Dam will not be affected by the closure.

Workers will finish a project that included installation of a large crane used to place and remove stop logs at the Swan Falls Power Plant. Stop logs are large beams used to control water flow.

Swan Falls Dam was the first power plant built on the Snake River. The original plant was built in 1901 to supply electricity to nearby mines. Idaho Power acquired the plant in 1916 and has upgraded it several times since then.
