Swinging Bridge Fishing Access Site

Swinging Bridge Fishing Access Site is a primitive state fishing access on the Stillwater River, 5. 3 miles south of Columbus, featuring a hand launch, vault toilet, and 5-6 well-spaced riverside campsites suitable for tents and small RVs (20ft trailer limit).

Access is via a narrow, single-lane dirt road not recommended for large rigs, with a 7-day stay limit and no water hookups available.

The site offers excellent fishing and paddling opportunities directly on the river, though note that it was temporarily closed due to flood damage as of June 2022—contact Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks at 406-247-2940 to confirm current access before visiting.
