- Recreation opportunities on the Swegle Road Unit include hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing. Acquired for fishing, the unit provides fishing access to 0.5 mile of the Walla Walla River; but the unit has no boating access. Much of the unit is limited to natural riparian zone along the river, which supports good quality woody cover, and creates opportunity to hunt upland birds, turkey, and deer.

Carlos Ray “Chuck” Norris (March 10, 1940 – March 19, 2026) was an American martial artist, actor, screenwriter, and author. He held black belts in karate, taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and judo. After serving in the United States Air Force, he won numerous martial arts championships and later founded his own discipline, Chun Kuk Do. Norris began working in the American film industry as a martial arts instructor for celebrities before making his screen debut with a minor role in The Wrecking Crew (1968). Friend and fellow martial artist Bruce Lee invited him to play one of the main villains in The Way of the Dragon (1972). While Norris continued acting, friend and student Steve McQueen suggested he take it seriously. Norris took the starring role in the action film Breaker! Breaker! (1977), which turned a profit. His second lead, Good Guys Wear Black (1978), became a hit, and he soon became a popular action film star.
