McKenzie River Viewpoint

Charming viewpoint on the McKenzie river trail. Highlight is a bridge that is engulfed by Fall colors in October. Easily accessible to the road (Hwy 126).

Stunning year round, but particularly so in the Fall.

Limited parking. Best shoot would be a small photo crew. There are pull outs on the highway, but the parking immediately by the bridge is limited to approximately four spots.

Clear Lake

Clear Lake is a mountain lake near Sisters, Oregon, in Linn County. It has two main bodies connected by a bottleneck. The lake is primarily fed by snow runoff from nearby Mount Washington and the surrounding areas which is what makes it so clear.

There are rustic cabins on site for accommodation, and a small restaurant and retail shop. There is a good amount of parking although accessibility may be an issue as the road leading down to the lake is a little steep. The road goes in a one way loop up to the main highway.

There are covered sheds on site for public use that could be reserved for a film crew.

Fees payable to the National Forest and Resort are applicable and need to be actioned at least 30 days in advance.

Excellent location for recreation and fishing shoot or branded content.

Fish Lake (McKenzie River Hwy)

Fish Lake Campground and Cabin area are part of the Fish Lake Historic Site, also known as the Fish Lake Remount Depot, along the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass and the West Cascades National Scenic Byways.

During the 1920’s, it served as the field and dispatch headquarters for the Santiam National Forest, (the predecessor of the Willamette National Forest) and as such has several buildings on site with a day use area with picnic tables and interpretive signs.. A viewing platform takes you to the lake’s edge. Fish Lake is a seasonal lake that only has water in winter and spring. In the summer, the water drains underground, leaving a lush meadow (images below).

There are two rustic cabins on site and a restroom in the day area. The area is particularly colorful in the Fall.
