North Santiam Highway Dispersed — Willamette NF

Along the North Santiam River corridor in Willamette National Forest, this rim-edge dispersed spot sits above a steep cliff with river views and access to fishing banks below — all within earshot of OR 22 traffic, though the noise is minimal. A narrow, low-canopy dirt track off the highway leads to an open area with a fire ring, picnic table, and room for multiple tents or small campers. High clearance is recommended; the road can get slick in wet conditions, and low-hanging branches are a consideration for taller vehicles.
