• In September 2020, the Beachie Creek and Lionshead fires ravaged more than 400,000 acres in Marion and Linn Counties – making it one the largest combined wildfires in Oregon’s history.
• In Marion County, the fires claimed five lives and destroyed more than 700 homes, structures and businesses in what is known as the North Santiam Canyon (NSC), a 670-square mile area east of Salem that includes the towns of Lyons/Mehama, Mill City, Gates, Detroit and Idanha, as well as the communities of Breitenbush, Elkhorn, Fox Valley, Marion Forks and Niagara.
• The fires also resulted in severe damage to many popular outdoor recreation sites (campgrounds, parks, trails, and some North Santiam River access points) – in the Santiam State Forest and Willamette National Forest areas north of Hwy 22.
• As a result of the extensive damage, many recreation areas will remain closed through the summer of 2021 (at least) as agencies and individuals work to clean up, rebuild and make the sites safe and accessible for public use again.
