This is Santiam... Absolutely Natural!

We have grown to love the Santiam Canyon area and we know that once you explore, you will as well. With all the things to do; hiking up Monument Peak or Bachelor Mountain, kayaking on either the Santiam River or the north fork tributary of the Santiam River, mountain biking in the new Shellburg Falls trails, fishing for some Salmon or Trout in the Santiam River, or even just taking a leisurely bike ride around the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, its just a great place to visit!

While your here make sure to stop by and grab some food at a local eatery - no chain restaurants around here!

From hiking to kayaking you can do that in the Santiam area. Get on your horse and ride up the Monumment Peak ridge or kayak the famous Spencer Hole near outside of Gates. You can also though on some hiking or biking shoes and take on the trails at Shellburg Falls State Park outside of Lyons. In Mill City, some great fishing holes holding stealhead trout and chinook salmon await your bait.
