Swasey’s Beach
Self-Guided Day Trip
Enjoy spectacular canyon views at Swasey’s Beach just north of Green River. The white sand beach spans a long bend in the river and is shaded by cottonwood trees. Shallow water gives children plenty of opportunity to frolic in the river, and bighorn sheep frequent the water’s edge. Rapids upstream from the campground provide a kayaking playground.
Designated as recreational access on BLM land with no permits or fees for camping or boating, Swasey’s Beach provides barrier-free access for those with disabilities.
