Join us to repair, enhance and improve Marion County’s park system. Six county parks were affected by the 2020 Beachie Creek wildfire. North Fork, Bear Creek, Salmon Falls, Minto, Packsaddle, and Niagra parks were heavily damaged. In total, the area encompasses 156 acres and provides numerous recreation opportunities throughout the popular Santiam Canyon area, and is situated along critical riparian habitat areas of the Santiam River, Little Fork, and various tributaries.
Oregon Parks Forever is proud to partner with Marion County Parks to improve park facilities for campers, fishermen, birders, kayakers, hikers, and recreationists of all ages, now and for the future. Planned enhancement activities include trail building, picnic areas, improving disability-friendly camping and fishing opportunities, adding educational signage, and developing additional recreational facilities.
