The Swift Forest Camp boat launch at Swift Reservoir will close starting Aug. 15 due to dry conditions and low water levels, according to PacifiCorp.

The reservoir is located in the Columbia River Gorge, near Stevenson, and is a key recreational spot for residents. PacifiCorp did not specify a reopening date or exact water level thresholds.
