Elkhorn Creek has healthy populations of native cutthroat
and rainbow trout, and is tributary to Little North Fork of
Santiam River.
The 1,034± acre tract is one of the largest in-holdings of
private timberland within the Santiam State Forest and
next to the Willamette National Forest, and was acquired
by the Seller in 2004 from Weyerhaeuser as part of a larger
acquisition.
There is an estimated total of 6,000± MBF, with 51± acres of
primarily old growth western hemlock, and the balance in
well-stocked 40- to 60-year-old Douglas-fir on 783± acres,
with the majority of the volume within a basin located
within Section 13. The property has not been harvested
since 1975. Please see Supplemental Information Package
for timber type, map and inventory.
The headwater of Elkhorn Creek is located in Section
13, next to a small pond. The bulk of the old growth is
located on 36 acres within Section 13, primarily within the
southwest portion.
There is access to the property from Highway 22 at
Niagara from Santiam State Forest Road 2211, which is a
gravel road. The trailhead and parking for Rocky Top is
8.2 miles from Highway 22, and near the access entry road
into Section 13. A power line R.O.W. bisects Section 24.
The topography is steep and rugged, with an internal
system of logging roads that provide access throughout
the property. Cable and yarder logging systems will be
required. The road system will require upgrading and
improvements before it can be used for hauling logs.
