Now I haven't been there for a while but I can't remember how close the Wheel Chair access but it's a long walk. The archery area is also a nice place to go. Again have a parking pass. Just make a trip to actually see some pretty beautiful area. Make a better, safer parking lot. A lot of elderly go there.

He came across Kathy's Airbnb in Silverton and we fell in love. Location was great and we definitely feel the Oregon hospitality from the locals. For our 3 day stay in Silverton, we walked around their downtown and checked out some of the murals that the locals tell us about. There must be at least one in every block! Besides that, we also ventured out to nearby places: SILVER FALLS: The Silver Falls Park is a 7-8 mile hike to see 10 waterfalls! The hike was doable but definitely got us sweating at some point. The falls were beautiful to see and it was a peaceful and enjoyable hike. We went around 11:30am and there was an ok amount of people. Not too crowded but with the right amount of folks to chat with and hike alongside. They have a gift shop and a cafe with semi-clean bathrooms. WOODBURN PREMIUM OUTLET: on our second day, the bf and I checked out Woodburn Premium Outlets and it was great! Plenty of nice shops to look at such as Michael Kors, Nike, Adidas, North Face, Coach, Forever 21, J. Crew, etc. so many good sales ranging from 50% storewide to some with an additional 20-40%!! And omg, can't forget the TAX FREEE! I'm definitely loving this tax free in Oregon !! SALEM: the bf and I wanted to check out places not too far from our Airbnb and Salem was another nice little town nearby (~20mins away) and there was a nice little surprise when we arrived! On the day we visited, it was the 5th day of the summer solstice so it was "Make A Music" day. On this day, worldwide, bands play music on the streets for people to enjoy, We really liked walking around and listening to open mics all around town. There was a band playing in like every other block. Never experienced this before so it was fun to see people singing and dancing along the music. Silverton is a great area to stay cause it's quiet and peaceful and easily accessible to other places. Although not much to do in the town itself, they aren't far from other places.

The refuge is accessed via many different roads and parking lots. I recommend checking out their maps online. I really enjoy walking the Rail Trail, which includes a boardwalk through a forest that seasonally floods. Very cool. When I visited here in late October, it was the driest I've ever seen it. I didn't see another person and it was very restorative to just walk in silence and solitude. I am excited to visit the new nature center, their website says it will be open January 2022.

It's a nice challenge in winter to get upstream and in summer it's a relaxing place for summer. I will say I was unimpressed with the host the last time I was there in summer. An older gentleman had gone off the road and was stuck. A few other lake goers were helping him without success. I went up to let the host know that there was a situation going on and he said "what am I supposed to do". I'll leave it there without putting any non factual opinions in.

There are two main places to pull off the road - a huge flat spot near the pond, and a parking lot towards the eastern end of the property. It's an easy walk up the hill to a viewpoint where you can look down at the birds. Trails are well maintained, and walking is a pleasure here. Our last visit was during a government shutdown, and we were happy to see that the restrooms near the parking lot were both open and being maintained. Thank you to the people who take care of this wonderful place.

You can hear the babble of the small brook as your kids play in the park. The children have so much fun at this local Silverton Park they don't even notice when it starts to sprinkle on their heads nor do they care. As you can see from the photos the local residents take great pride in this park I do recommend spending a morning or afternoon.
