Small riverside park on the North Santiam near Mill City — shoot flowing water, river reflections, riparian trees and seasonal fall color with the town and forested hills as a backdrop. Best at golden hour for warm side-light and at blue hour for reflections; accessible paths and a modest parking area make quick visits easy. No entry fee; bring waterproof shoes after rain. Weekdays are quieter.
