Siuslaw and Smith River Road System

We've been here a couple times and there was always
one road that was blocked. This time there was a tree
across the road before Kentucky Falls.

When FIRE RESTRICTIONS are in effect,
all vehicles are required to carry:
- 1 gallon of water or 2 1/2 lb. fire extinguisher
- Shovel with 8" blade at least 26 inches long
Carrying an ax is recommended
A pair of leather gloves are a good idea.

WILD CAT BRIDGE(Covered Bridge)
Built 1925
AUSTA BOAT RAMP
LANE COUNTY PARK
As you turn on Siuslaw Road from Hwy.126,
there is a sharp curve. Stay to the right towards
Austa boat ramp and you will see Wild Cat Bridge.
Worth some photos. Continue down the roads and
there are possible camps and overnight parking. Blackberries cover the hillside and a few are ready to be harvested, but towards the middle of August should be better.
