Just north of Salem, Keizer Rapids Park features disc golf, river access, and one of the area’s largest playgrounds. Champoeg State Heritage Area is another family favorite, offering a free museum, riverside picnicking, a disc golf course, and a scenic four- mile paved bike path that leads to the Historic Butteville Store—famous for its homemade ice cream.

Operated by the Daughters of the American Revolution, the village offers a fascinating look into Oregon’s pioneer past.
