Description:
Mill City is located on Highway 22, about 20 miles upstream along the North Santiam River from Stayton and Sublimity. Mill City is on both sides of the river and consequently is partly in Linn County and partly in Marion County. A wrought iron railroad bridge that spans the river and once carried trainloads of lumber is now a pedestrian bridge.

The trail begins on this refurbished railroad bridge that crosses the salmon-filled pool created by the Mill City Falls. The trail parallels the river for a bit and offers several scenic points.

There are no rentals or rest rooms available along this trail. The trail is not wheelchair accessible. There are restaurants near the start of the trail in Mill City.

Going East to West the trail crosses a refurbished former railroad bridge which is quite scenic. From there it goes through about 600' of foilage on a good path then onto a street. In about a quarter of a mile past the bridge it crosses SW Broadway St (no signs) and becomes an elevated single track running parallel to the street for about a half mile. There it stops because it is heavily overgrown. If you go another quarter mile on the parallel road there is another small section (600') of railroad track that ends the path and terminates at another railroad bridge. This last section is not improved for bicycles.
