About this campground
Part of the byway travels through the Willamette National Forest’s Sweet Home Ranger District and much of the byway parallels the Santiam Wagon Road. Length: 66 miles From the Oregon Department of Transportation: This route begins in the rich farmland of the Willamette Valley then winds along rushing streams and through thick forests as it climbs into the Cascades to join the West Cascades and McKenzie Pass-Santiam Scenic Byways. Along the way you'll pass through some of Oregon's oldest settlements, while experiencing the geographic diversity of five Western Oregon ecosystems. With access to rivers, reservoirs, parks and campgrounds, many trails and snow-play areas, this Byway offers a wide range of recreational activities.
