Swett Creek Hike

Swett Creek is a medium-sized canyon with several short stretches of narrows in its upper half and a deeper, boulder-strewn gorge lower down. It meets Trachyte Creek at the lake's high-water line, at the Hite end of the lake. It is easy to explore, with no real obstacles beyond one short stretch of potholes that may need wading, and it has a few side canyons of interest; longer hikes continue up Trachyte Creek.
