North Santiam danger at Minto Dam

Do NOT paddle upstream of Packsaddle County park on the North Santiam!  Heavy construction involving dynamite makes it unsafe and illegal to boat between Niagara Parks and Packsaddle until the fish hatchery project is completed.  There will be even more danger soon as the project advances.

Tree Blocks Metolius about 1 Mile Upstream of Fish Hatchery / Wizard Falls

As of Monday, August 2, 2010 the Metolius is completely blocked by a fallen tree about one mile upstream from the fish hatchery. There is a rough portage on river-left by bushwhacking up to the trail running parallel to the river.

New Aquatic Invasive Species Permits ~ recent changes

As of January 1, 2010, a new Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Permit is required on Oregon

waters for non-motorized water-craft 10' and longer. As of early January, the Oregon State

Marine Board has modified this permit system in two important ways:

1. A valid AIS permit can be issued in anyone's name.

2. No AIS permit is required for youngsters under the age of 14.
