oise waters of the Little North Santiam
River in one of the area's most popular
swimming holes.
On hot weekend afternoons, the park
often is crowded with people swimming
in the deep pool surrounded by cliffs.
Fishing, hiking and exploring the river
are other options at North Fork Park.
In 2017, Marion County instituted a
$5 daily parking fee for all vehicles that
park at North Fork and along North Fork
Road. A $30 annual parking pass is also
available, which will allow unlimited
daily parking for one vehicle along
North Fork Road and in Marion County
North Fork corridor parks.

from Salem. From Salem, follow High-
way 22 east for 24 miles. Turn left onto
Little North Fork Road for three miles
and follow signs for the park.

A 30-foot waterfall drops into a clear
emerald pool at one of the most scenic
parks in Marion County.

the most popular activities on hot sum-
mer days.

0.75-mile trail and fishing opportuni-

This often-overlooked park of 73
acres features a longer-than-expected
collection of trails that lead to hidden
spots along the North Santiam River.
A gravel access road leads to a nice
picnic spot and view of the river, but
stop at one of the multiple trailheads to
wander through dense riparian forest in
search of river access where spawning
salmon can be found in autumn.
The park is most popular with an-
glers.
Directions: About a 30-minute drive
from Salem. From Salem, follow High-
way 22 east for 35 miles. Turn right at a
sign for Minto Park onto a gravel access
road.
Highlighted by a picnic area on the
Willamette River, a trail through ripari-
an forest and a large open space for
whatever the imagination concocts,
Spongs Landing is an underrated park
north of Keizer.
The most popular spot is the Coho
Picnic Area, which sits along the banks
of the river and features a beach popular
with anglers. Playground equipment,
two covered picnic shelters and horse-
shoe pits round out the 61-acre destina-
tion.
Directions: About a 20-minute drive
from Salem. From Salem, take Liberty
Road to North River Road. Turn left on
Chemawa Road for 0.7 miles and turn

in the small town will have a delayed
open, due to repaving the parking lot.
Bonesteele Park
Niagara Park
Dense forest and the canyon scenery
of the North Santiam River highlights
this beautiful 29-acre park just off High-
way 22.
Short trails, interpretative signs and
views of the river make this a popular
place for road-weary travelers to stop.
Picnic tables, trails, a restroom and
drinking fountain are found at the park.
Directions: About a 30-minute drive
from Salem. From Salem, follow High-
way 22 east for 38 miles. Turn right at a

mercial grass field, is being restored to
an upland prairie ecosystem and is
home to trails and other non-developed
recreation.

is intended to bring back a landscape
that will increase biodiversity, enhance
wildlife habitat, and provide an educa-
tional and recreational resource for area
residents," Marion County's website
said.

Park.
