Camp Sherman and the Metolius River Basin

It is a different world over here.  First there is the river...beginning its journey through the Metolius Heritage Area as a huge spring bubbling out of a mossy hillside.  Fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and wildlife viewing are favorite pastimes.

Many people have described the Camp Sherman/Metolius River area as the best undiscovered community in Oregon.  Enjoy life as it might have been before freeways and smog, before crime and urban sprawl, before population growth.  Combine old fashioned values with modern amenities, where natural resources are left for nature.  The Metolius, where you can still see crystal, icy cold water flow from the ground under giant yellow ponderosa pine...where you can still enjoy what life was meant to be.  And benefit from an attractive investment opportunity as well.  The real estate market in Camp Sherman is dominated by vacation home purchasers and retiring couples.

Choose one of the resorts or lodges to and spend a few days unwinding from the fast-paced lifestyle of the city.

Nearby Suttle Lake offers water sports such as water skiing, windsurfing, fishing and swimming.  HooDoo Ski Bowl on Santiam Pass has downhill, night skiing and cross-country skiing.

For fun in the forest, get out your bicycle, running shoes or hiking boots,  wonderful trails and old roads wind through ponderosa pines in all directions.  Or, visit the Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Washington wilderness areas.
