FISHING The Middle Fork Willamette River is a good wild rainbow and cutthroat trout stream. It has great access because it flows through National Forest Land for most of its length. The rainbows and cutthroats probably average about 12 inches, but they get much larger. This section of the Middle Fork of the Willamette is twelve miles long. Salmon Creek is a tributary of the Middle Fork Willamette River near Oakridge and offers excellent trout fishing, thanks to regular stocking of hatchery rainbows.

AREA HISTORY Euro-American surveyors first explored this stretch of the Cascades in 1852, scouting a wagon route from Central Oregon into the Willamette Valley. A ranching settlement grew up along that corridor, and a post office opened there in 1888 under the name Hazeldell. The community was later known as Big Prairie, then Oak Ridge, before the Southern Pacific Railroad opened a depot in 1912, and the town was formally organized as Oakridge that same year.

The railroad brought steady growth, and by 1948, the Pope and Talbot Lumber Company had built a large sawmill that became the town’s dominant employer, at one point employing more than 500 workers. That timber economy collapsed in the 1980s: the mill closed in 1985, and the town lost roughly 1,600 jobs across Oakridge and neighboring Westfir.

Oakridge has since remade itself around the forest that once fed its mills. Old logging roads became singletrack, and by 2015, the International Mountain Bicycling Association named it a gold-level Ride Center, one of only six worldwide, cementing its status as an outdoor recreation destination between Eugene and Bend.
