North Santiam Canyon Visitor’s Information Guide and Business Directory

Welcome to the North Santiam Canyon, home to the three R’s: recreation, relaxation and resources.

If you are looking for recreation, this is the place. Choose your favorite from kayaking, rafting, tubing, skiing, swimming, hiking and golf. Those in the mood for relaxation enjoy fishing and beautiful views. And for those looking for opportunity the area offers both business and natural resources.

Here in the North Santiam Canyon, water is the element that connects the communities of Mehama, Lyons, Mill City, Gates, Detroit and Idanha. The North Santiam River and its tributaries and Detroit Lake form the backdrop for daily life. A magnificent natural setting shapes both work and play in these wonderfully distinct communities.

The North Santiam Guide is your resource to business and recreation opportunities here in the canyon. Businesses listed in the directory play a vital role in the local economy, providing products, services and jobs.

The organizations listed enrich the canyon’s civic and social life. This guide is produced by the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce and the North Santiam Canyon Economic Development Corporation. Other rivers in the Willamette system may have more tourists and fanfare, but the North Santiam has the most fish. We think you’ll find the communities along the North Santiam also have the most promise!
