Briefly about the general area:
Camping is available at Casey's Riverside Park, and Spirit Falls is always fun to check out. And if that's not enough, there's heaps more to do near Willamette Divide Trail. Paddling on Champion Creek is so much fun.
Silverstairs Creek is a stream that you may stumble upon while you're here, and do put some time aside to spend at Moonfalls if you're here at Willamette Divide Trail. So many fun things to do in the Central Cascade Range, not sufficient time.
