North Santiam State Park plays host to some of the most beautiful riverfront in the area. It is one of the finest steelhead fishing spots on the North Santiam River. North Santiam State Park is a primitive campground and day-use area with drinking fountain and restroom facilities. Picnic tables dot the grass, making North Santiam State Park a great place to stop to stretch and eat a picnic lunch. Hiking trails show the beauty of the large old-growth trees and the river.
They've been doing some sprucing up the place with a cute little garden bed and the new family/ companion restrooms are great!!
Well worth the ride from Salem, a great olace for tubing floating swimming camping picnicking hiking and its where our service dog pup took her official first swim! Way to go Artles!
Great park, camping available plenty of spots. Plenty of room for activities and you can fish. The water is shallow enough to let the kids play, iit does have bigger rounds rocks on the bed so you'd have to keep shoes on. Good tails to walk on
Nice little beach, always busy, though, and lots of kiddos and a camp host RV. It burned half way last big fire so hiking around is a no go.
