Big Springs Sno-Park

Located three miles west of Santiam Junction on state Highway 22, the trails at Big Springs Sno-Park offer a chance to travel through large old growth trees – but be aware of tree wells and stump holes! Trails range from easy to more difficult and one route is shared use with snowmobiles for about a mile.
