About the north santiam river
The North Santiam River is a 92-mile river located in western Oregon, United States. The river was originally used by Native Americans for fishing and trading purposes. The river flows through the Cascade Range and is fed by numerous tributaries. The river has two major reservoirs, Detroit Lake and Big Cliff Reservoir, both of which were built in the mid-20th century for hydroelectric power generation and flood control. The North Santiam River is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The river is home to a variety of fish species, including Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and rainbow trout. The surrounding agricultural land is irrigated with water from the river, making it an important resource for the local farming communities.
