The South Santiam River:

the south santiam river on the over the river and through the woods scenic byway.

Over the River and through the Woods Scenic Byway in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon.

Connect with the Over the River and through the Woods Scenic Byway in Oregon at exit 216 off I - 5. Exit 216 is
approximately 80 miles south of Portland, Oregon and 21 miles north of Eugene. The sign should say "Halsey, Brownsvile"
or vice versa. :-) Turn east on Hwy 228, heading into Sweet Home, where Hwy 228 connects with Hwy 20. It's very easy
to find the junction of 228 and 20. Signs are clearly marked, and Sweet Home is quite small.

Enjoy yourself. Hwy 20 is not a major thoroughfare. It's a two lane highway that meanders in a gentle path, following the
south fork of the Santiam River. Stop riverside, take in the sights, the colors, the smells; the simple beauty of a more peaceful
path over the Cascade Mountains,, and remember, the Old Santiam Wagon Road intersects with Hwy 20 in different places
along the way. Over the River and through the Woods Scenic Byway ends when Hwy 20 meets
Hwy 126 at the top of Santiam Pass.
