Swanholm Road is a well-maintained and easy gravel road connecting the east end of the North Fork Boise River with the Middle Fork Road and forms part of a backcountry route from Idaho City to Atlanta. There are a number of side roads and trails that can be explored, but some of them are width-limited for ATVs or motorcycles. Dispersed camping is allowed all along the road, and there are numerous nice places to set up for the night. At the north end of the road is Deer Park Campground, a semi-developed camping area with several nice sites along the river.
