I have no idea about that stretch of the North Santiam, but it is close to both Silver Falls State Park and Detroit lake in the event you need another change of scenery.

If camped at the park, your are right on the water. No need to drive anywhere else unless you want to pick up another run. You can only access the river at the park for a quater mile or so.
At the west end of the park it turns into private land. There is a steep drop off the bank that if you hop down, will give you another 40 yards or so. It's been awhile since I've fished there but that used to be the case. At the top end/east of the park you can wade up river some if your a good wader. You'll be able to pick up another quater mile if you are. There is a rapid at the top end of the park, just below...is a nice holding spot for steelies |
