Freshwater Trust Rehabs The Salmon and Sandy Rivers on Mt. Hood to Restore Fish Habitat

Thursday, October 16, 2014
by Liz Warren

The Freshwater Trust is a non-profit group that has been working with the National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management to restore fish habitat in the Sandy River Basin. The Salmon River and Still Creek, both tributaries to the Sandy River,  once were teaming with Salmon and Steelhead but current numbers are 20% to 40% of what they once were. The ten year project started with the Salmon River but now the group is focusing on Still Creek, one of the most beautiful waterways in the Mt. Hood area.

Mt. Hood National Forest Cabins

Wednesday, December 19, 2012
by Liz Warren

One of the most often sought after properties on Mt. Hood are Mt Hood National Forest cabins located mostly above Rhododendron on up to just before the climb to Government Camp along Hiway 26. These cabins were mostly built in the 1930’s and 1940s by Portlanders who wanted a summer getaway thus the term “Summer Homes” used by the Forest Service.

Since that time the cabins have turned into much more than “Summer Homes”. Many skiers who want a weekend getaway close to Mt. Hood’s ski slopes find these cabins the perfect affordable option compared to the higher priced condos and chalets in Government Camp. 

Cabin sales make up around 17% of market sales in 2012. The cabins are anywhere from rustic  hand crafted cabins to completely remodeled and updated cabins fully insulated with gourmet kitchens and hardwood floors.  

The best part about National Forest cabins are the locations. Several waterways meander through the woods including Still Creek, Camp Creek and the Zig Zag River which crosses both sides of Hiway 26. Waterfront cabins are some of the most popular for buyers. The pristine forested setting   and regulated ownership requirements of the permit keep this area one of the most beautiful, undisturbed and anesthetic experience you can have on Mt. Hood.
