This facility has multiple rooms, which are well supplied with refrigeration, microwave, and coffee machines. There is also an awesome common area with plenty of seating for Social visits. Our family rents the whole facility for a weekend every year to enjoy a summer family gathering. It's a great location with lots of outdoor entertainment nearby. Swimming, biking, hiking, you name it! We've enjoyed quiet evenings in the lighted outdoor gazebos and casual seating. All rooms have comfortable beds, modern restrooms and everything you could need. Every year we vote to come back next year!

Diamond Creek Falls is the next door "little brother" neighbor to Salt Creek Falls - the 2nd…read moretallest waterfall in Oregon. So as a pairing located just a few hiking miles from each other, if you visit one, you must stick around to do the other. Especially since these waterfalls are located in a remote part of Oregon right off the Williamette National Forest Highway and not too far north of Crater Lake. Salt Creek Falls is the "main event" waterfall, but don't dismiss Diamond Creek Falls. It's quite impressive in its own right, and quite different from Salt Creek Falls. And if you are an outdoors waterfall enthusiast, you will appreciate coming to this area and getting rewarded with witnessing 2 waterfalls for the price of 1 admission. Let's get to Diamond Creek Falls... It's a manageable 3 mile roundtrip hike. Start by crossing over a footbridge. Along the way a posted warning sign mentions that Diamond Creek Falls pathway ventures beside the dangerous cliffside. Do not fret. You don't reach anywhere near a freefall dropoff. This sign should be ignored. Keep an eye out for blue ribbons that can help assist you in staying on the trail. A significant difference I noticed between Salt Creek Falls and Diamond Creek Falls is how Salt Creek Falls is a quick half mile (each way) visit to a lookout point. Diamond Creek allows you to much more connect with nature. It's a pleasant trek through the forest. Continuing on...pass over a fallen down log. Finally, you'll come upon a sign for Lower Diamond Creek Falls. This is the primary path leading to the base of the falls. Step down over another tree stump and you're almost there. There's one final footbridge to pass over down beside a creek and you'll start hearing water flowing. And...walk straight to the toe of Diamond Creek Falls. Diamond Creek Falls is a 120 foot cascading waterfall from top to bottom. It's much different than the 286 foot straight plunge from Salt Creek Falls. Salt Creek Falls is visible only from a distance. Diamond Creek Falls is good for sitting down on the rocks and admiring the setting. You can have lunch or a snack if you brought food. Lastly, when returning to the main part of the trail, you can venture higher to the possible "upper section" of Diamond Creek Falls, but I never attempted it further because I was content with the surroundings from the "lower Falls". I simply returned to the parking lot to finish the adventure. In all, both waterfalls have their own attributes and visiting them together makes for a fun filled half day of hiking in South/Central Oregon.

We come up to Oregon envy summer to visit family and I will most definitely use his services again. Next year I can't wait to bring my 3 year old out with us!

I decided to drive outside of Eugene and explore this area with a friend a few months back and…read morerecently I went again last weekend. It's a nice drive out to Dorena Lake and this park is really easy to find. It sits right where Rat Creek enters the lake and has a large parking lot. When I went the boat launch was closed but it looks like you can do that here. I saw a few people fishing and the view itself is very pretty. The sparkling water with the trees surrounding it is really nice. Recently when I went there was a lot of broken glass scattered on the beach in all the areas I walked. I had my dogs with me and was a little nervous to hang out there for much longer. I definitely wouldn't want to be barefoot here and if you have kids, be careful. On a hot day it might be nice to come hang out here but if there's this much glass I would probably find somewhere else. There is normally a nice trail you can take around the lake but after the recent snow storm it's closed due to so much debris and fallen trees on the path. When it's all cleared out it will be great for walking and biking. It would be really nice to bring kayaks out here, there weren't any boats on the water when I went recently. There are bathrooms near the parking lot.

Due to the time of the year, there was nothing good left online and I was facing the prospect of having to spend an additional $80 on a new pump and having to wait at least a week, or else drive 2 hours out of my way to get a dubious replacement. Matt simply suggested I buy a $10 Adapter (available at any car parts store) to convert the cigarette lighter to one that works off alligator clips - problem solved !! Super grateful to have someone knowledgable and caring solve my problem - who clearly cared more about the solution then making a sale. I highly recommend Matt and Oregon Outdoor Sports !
