Detroit Lake draws holiday crowds despite wildfire damage

View Comments
On Sunday, the sign at the entrance to Detroit Lake State Recreation Area read: Campground full. Lines formed throughout the day at the Moutain High Grocery, the town’s only store.
The visible, extensive destruction from last year’s Labor Day fires did not stop crowds from flocking to enjoy Detroit Lake over Memorial Day weekend.
Shelley and Tim Pyatt booked their camping reservations at the state recreation site the morning it became available. Within a half-hour, Tim Pyatt said, most campsites were booked for the entire season.
After months of being cooped up during the pandemic, the family from Cornelius said they were just looking for safe ways to get outdoors. They purchased their first camper a few months ago.

Detroit Lake campgrounds reopen after wildfires, six stay closed

View Comments
The Detroit area is taking another small step toward normalcy this month with the reopening of six campgrounds around the popular reservoir east of Salem that burned in last September's Labor Day fires.
The largest campground in the area, Detroit Lake State Park, reopened last month. The Forest Service has added to the overnight options by gradually reopening its collection of smaller sites around the lake and on the upper North Santiam River including:
Santiam Flats Campground, on the southeast side of Detroit Lake, open now
Cove Creek Campground, on the south side of Detroit Lake, open now

Letters to Editor: Getting kids back school, Donald Trump and COVID-19

Two days a week back in classrooms is a great start
As schools begin to reintroduce in-person instruction, if only for two days a week, I cannot help but feel relieved.
Over the last year, our community has tried to do what communities ought to do: Band together to protect the most vulnerable in our society. Yet, for school children, we fell dismally short of that goal.
To protect the physical health of our friends, family, and neighbors, we temporarily forgot about the mental and emotional health of our students. We forgot that children and teenagers often have the least amount of control over their home environments. We forgot that children need human connection to achieve holistic health. We left them to deal with tech problems, limited resources, confusion, anxiety, loneliness, depression, and worse. It’s time to go back and do the right thing by our children.

Elon Musk an RVer? With his new Cybertruck, he says “maybe”
Billionaire businessman Elon Musk envisions in his future more than electric cars and trucks, and sending astronauts to Mars. He sees RV travel – for himself! Or so he has hinted. On Twitter last week the CEO of Tesla expressed interest in the idea of traveling around or perhaps even living in a Tesla-made, all electric Cybertruck fifth wheel RV. Learn more.

Oregon Coast / Inland Campgrounds Mostly Open, Some Fee Increases

Oregon Coast / Inland Campgrounds Mostly Open, Some Fee Increases
Published 03/08/21 at 7:00 PM PDT
By Oregon Coast Beach Connection staff
(Oregon Coast) – Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is getting back to normal at an ever-quickening rate, and is now looking hopefully towards a more “normal” season at campgrounds on the Oregon coast and elsewhere. Staff rehiring is taking place after many positions were eliminated, and even with a massive revenue shortfall the agency has opened up most state parks and campgrounds, with a few more to go.

However, some small camping fee increases are taking place at several state parks, though not all.

The first signs of spring are here and Oregon State Parks staff are busy preparing campgrounds for a more “normal” 2021 Spring Break and summer camping season.
“Our visitors and staff have weathered a rough 12 months,” said Lisa Sumption, director of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). “None of us imagined this time last year that we would face a more than two-month shutdown of Oregon State Parks and then reopen under pandemic and safety precautions, followed by last September’s wildfires that damaged our local communities and several state parks. This February’s ice storm also brought down trees and limbs and damaged some facilities in northern Willamette Valley and Columbia River Gorge parks.
