Bonner Park swim area set to reopen

PRIEST RIVER — The Priest River Bonner Park swim area has reopened and the boat launch is scheduled to reopen Friday morning pending any unforeseen changes, Bonner County officials said.

Bonner County Recreation Manager Pete Hughes said the department is advising swimmers and boaters to use extreme caution as water levels and currents can change at any time. In addition, they should be on the lookout for floating debris in the waters.

"We also would like to recommend the use of life jackets that are provided at the launch," Hughes said.
