There's
so much to do here at Pine Crest Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Silver Fox RV Park is a splendid spot for that, and there's whitewater on Mollala River - North Fork for all you adrenaline rush seekers. A pleasant journey to The Dungeon is a splendid way to spend
an afternoon; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Mollala River - South Fork.

Stay the night at Milo Mciver State Park, and a quick tour to Dandelion Creek is definitely a nice idea.
