Deep in northwestern Oregon, the city of Lyons is nestled in the forested woodland of the state. To the southeast of Salem, Lyons sits in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Linn County.

With the North Santiam River rushing through the city’s northern border, the area was first settled by retired Captain James Lyons in the late 1800s. An Irishmen and Union veteran of the Civil War, more and more people moved west to make a new life in the rugged Pacific Northwest, relying on the timber and rail industry.

Discover Lyons


The Great Outdoors

One of the biggest draws to renting an RV in Lyons is the abundance of water-sports available on the popular North Santiam River. The bustling river, a 92-mile tributary of the Santiam River, is a popular waterway for rafting and kayaking. For anglers camping in Lyons, the North Santiam River is also an opportunity for great fishing. A watershed of the towering Cascades, popular species making up the river’s populations include the Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout, Oregon Chub, and Pacific Lamprey.

Take your Lyons RV travel trailer east to visit the beautiful Santiam State Forest. One of the hidden treasures of the beaver state, the 47,000-acre pristine forest provides habitat to a variety of flora and fauna. Santiam’s many trails are great for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Navigate through the diverse forest and explore secluded picnic spots, towering mountain vistas, relaxing lakes, and scenic waterfalls.

Another worthwhile adventure for your travel trailer rental from Linn County is to the north at the Silver Falls State Park. Known affectionately as the “crown jewel” of the Oregon State Parks system, the scenic beauty of Silver Falls attracts thousands of visitors. In the foothills of the classic Cascade Mountains, the 9,200-acre park is the largest in the state. Walk behind a waterfall at the famous 177-foot South Falls — one of nearly a dozen such falls in the park. Whether traversing the park on foot, bike, or a horse, the more than 35 miles of serene back-country trails will entrap visitors with their beauty. Visit the day-use area for its playing fields, picnic shelters, barbecues, playground, and horseshoe pits.

RV Parks

Lyons, Oregon, is one of a camper’s favorite destinations to explore. The area has a wealth of great campgrounds, and one of the the top places to park your RV rental from Lyons is at the Detroit Lake State Park. Of the campgrounds nearly 300 sites along the shore of the nine-mile-long lake, 107 offer full-hookups for your RV rental. The lake is popular for campers due to its fishing, boating, and other water sports opportunities. Two boat ramps, two boat moorages, and a fishing dock assure that you will have access to Detroit Lake. Enjoy the campground’s basketball court, playground, volleyball area, and horseshoe pits.

Another great option for respite is at the Fishermen’s Bend, just outside of the city near the North Santiam State Recreation Area. Popular for couples, families, and large groups alike, the campground straddles the natural curve of the North Santiam River. All of Fishermen’s Bend scenic sites have electric and sewer hookups for your RV, however, only some have water hookups. A diverse ecosystem surrounds the 170-acre park, with a mix of woodland, wetlands, and beaver ponds. Enjoy the campground’s playing fields, visitor center, boating, and fishing.

The Sweetbriar Train and RV Park is another favorite location to camp with your luxury Lyons motorhome rental. A little to the south of the city and a quick drive from Salem and Albany, the year-round campground offers a great and cozy night in the woods. The ½ mile train loop around the campground will surely entertain the younger members of your family. Build a campfire and enjoy the evening under the stars.

Exploring the City

Aside from the great fishing, hiking, and boating opportunities near Lyons, several other attractions are an allure to travelers and vacationers in Oregon. A little outside of Lyons, the B-17 Alliance Museum and Restoration Hangar is a favorite for aviation enthusiasts. Alongside their restoration efforts of the B-17G, the museum preserves, remembers, and honors the experiences and sacrifices of World War II veterans and civilians. Artifacts, equipment, uniforms, and art make history come alive.

While in Salem, visit the Riverfront Carousel on the eastern bank of the Willamette River. The forty horse-carousel were carved by hand by volunteers. Opened in 2001, the carousel is a popular tourist destination. Park your Lyons RV rental and make it an evening enjoying the river and all it has to offer.
