Cascadia State Park is just off Highway 20 and offers a nice rest area as well as a campground. I highly recommend the short hike to the romantic Lower Soda Creek Falls. This area was once the location of a sawmill and a hotel. There are no remnants of this era but the old soda spring next to the creek.

Hiking

A good rest stop off Hwy 20 and a good opportunity for a short walk or hike to Soda Creek Falls.
In 1895 George Geisendorfer bought the site, built a sawmill and spa hotel around a small mineral spring on Soda Creek. The buildings have disappeared, the old soda spring right next to the creek is still there, but it is no longer in use.
Further down the South Santiam River bed, the water flows over basalt rocks that have been eroded into bizarre shapes - a beautiful place.
