The Breitenbush hot spring
area one of the longest-famed
localities In Oregon recreation
and medicinal waters lore Is
only some 11 miles from one
of the state's newest attractions
for those who like the outdoors.
This Is Detroit lake, which,
with Breitenbush, was the des
tination of a recent motorlog
for the Oregon State Motor
association and The Oregonian.
Here the fast waters of the
North Santlam and Breiten
bush rivers are quieted behind
a concrete barrier which con
trols their surge at flood time,
and adds a modest contribution
of hydroelectric energy to the
Northwest power pooL Recrea
tion Is a sideline dividend, but
one which promises to become
of more and more Importance.
Detroit lake is as new as the
town that moved to escape Its
rising waters, and which gave
its name to the huge reservoir
with many fingers extending
Into surrounding stands of tim

Is shiny, fresh painted, unclut

Fortlanders can thank the
road builders for making this
area easy of access. We drove
the Oregon Stat Motor asso
ciation white car down the
Portland-Salem freeway to the
Salem bypass Junction with
highway 22 for the first 50
miles. The next 50-odd miles
weren't so fast, but It isn't
much more than an hour from
the Salem area to Detroit.
Here, fly-fishers turn left;
trollers to the right. First
timers at the lake might stop
at the general store of John
Cookone ot the merchants
who moved with Detroit for
tips on Detroit lake fishing and
for tackle they might need.
Then follow the signs, begin

For those who turn left at
the Detroit junction, the scen
ery show begins immediately.
The placid waters of the halted
river spread out to the west
of the rapidly climbing road.
Then comes the white splashing
of the swift-flowing river above
the lake. The river and the
road travel the same route, but
they change altitude at differ
ent rates. This gives the motor

on 160 acres of privately owned
land which the proprietors say
wns homesteaded before the na
tional forest was established.
It gets Its name, so the story
goes, from one Peter Breiten
bush. who discovered the min
eral springs that abound here.
It was operated lor 3U years Dy
M. D. Bruckman, who now
lives In Salem after selling the
place to Its present operators.
The whole resort area Is in

resort. It has a lode with five
rooms and 32 individual cabins.
The larger installation up

rooms and 64 individual cabins,
of which about half are fur

each place, and a cafe at the

Mineral Springs Named
Breitenbush is a health resort.
This has probably frightened
away a lot of healthy people
who would thrill at fishing in
Breitenbush river or the several
mountain lakes easily reached
from the resort area; or in
riding horses from a nearby
stable over innumerable moun
tain trails; or in hiking, taking
pictures, or generally enjoying
a particularly attractive piece
of the big outdoors.
But for those who care
there are 64 mineral springs
here, with temperatures rang
ing from 125 to 200 degrees.
Some of them bear names such
as "Arsenic spring," "Salt
spring," "Iron spring" and
"Soda spring," The list of
chemicals they boast looks like
an extract from U. S. pharma
copeia. The waters of the Breiten
bush river are probably only
mildly medicinal, but there is a
lot of curative power for fish
ermen in the 10,000 trout re
leased by the state game com
mission a!on three miles of
the river early in July.
