| Middle Santiam River |
| The Middle Santiam is the only one of the three
forks of the Santiam that is not paralleled by a Scenic Byway. You
can drive Forest Service roads to get close to one small section of
the Middle Santiam, but if you want to visit the River itself, you
will have to hike. If you do, you will be rewarded with a beautiful,
wild stream flowing through new and old forests and past the Middle
Santiam Wilderness. |
