Briefly about the general area:
Big
Spring is a good local attraction, and there's whitewater on Santiam River - North for all you adrenaline people. If you want a wonderful time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Central Cascade Range. Lava Trail is a perfect place to visit for more than one day, Country
Star Recreational Vehicle Park is a perfect place to camp nearby, and a pleasant spree to Marion Flats is a fine way to spend an afternoon.
If you want a perfect time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Lava Trail. Visit Swede Creek since you're here at Lava Trail.
Tombstone Prairie Campground is a great campground nearby; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Marion Creek. Do set aside some time for Duffy Prairie if you're here at Lava Trail, and of course Green Creek is a stunning stream that is worth visiting.
