Gooch Falls Timber Property within Willamette National Forest near Mt. 117 Jefferson Wilderness, Linn County, Oregon PUBLISHED RESERVE: $485,000 LAST ASKING: First Time Offered SIZE: 40± Acres ELEVATION: 3,046± Feet ZONING: FC – Forest Conservation PROPERTY INSPECTION: Locked Gate – Walk In Only. Entry Permit Required FINANCING: None – All Cash DESCRIPTION: Gooch Falls, a 40± acre property located within the Willamette National Forest, is the only major waterfall along Marion Creek, tributary to the North Santiam River. Acquisition of this 40± acre tract, which contains Gooch Falls, provides opportunity for ownership of a rare, private waterfall, with potential for use as a private seasonal camp or for obtaining value through a conservation easement. The tract contains an estimated 33 acres of primarily well-stocked 60+ year old timber, not impacted by harvest regulations, which could provide significant near-term cash flow. It is estimated that 60% of the volume is Douglas-fir, with the balance a mix of western hemlock, true fir, western red cedar, and some red alder. Please see Supplemental Information Package for timber stand description report. Marion Creek has its headwaters at Marion Lake, Oregon’s largest wilderness lake. One of the major trailheads to the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness is located a mile east of Gooch Falls, with access from Highway 22 at Marion Forks, by both the Marion Forks Fish Hatchery, and Marion Forks Campground. Marion Creek Road, USFS 2255, provides access to the northwest corner of the 40± acre tract. There is a gated entry road that provides access to the area which contains the trail to Gooch Falls. Please use extreme caution on trail when viewing the waterfall. Gooch Falls is 90± feet in height and has an average width of 110± feet, and pitch of 90 degrees, according to Northwest Waterfall Survey. Marion Creek runs through the middle of the tract. Gooch Falls was first discovered in 1874. In the 1880s, Nathan Gooch took a squatter’s claim to the land by the falls, and remnants of a log cabin, located near the waterfall, remain still. It has been identified as Gooch Falls since 1970. 44 FOR SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CALL 1-800-845-3524.

Age, Growth, and Diet of Fish in the Waldo Lake Natural-Cultural System
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Nicola L.Swets for the degree of Master of Science in Fisheries Science presented on June 24, 1996. Title: Age, Growth, and Diet of Fish in the Waldo Lake Natural-Cultural S Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved priam J.Liss Waldo Lake, located in the Oregon Cascades, is considered to be one of the most dilute lakes in the world. Even with very low nutrient concentrations and sparse populations of zooplankton, introduced fish in the lake are large in size and in good condition when compared to fish from other lakes. Fish were originally stocked in Waldo Lake in the late 1800's. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife began stocking in the late 1930's and continued stocking until 1991. Species existing in Waldo Lake today include brook trout, rainbow trout, and kokanee salmon. The overall objective of this thesis was to increase the understanding of the interrelationships that affect the age, growth, and diet of fish in Waldo Lake. The specific objectives were to summarize and synthesize available information on the substrate, climate, water, and biota of the Waldo Lake Basin; describe the cultural history and current cultural values of the Waldo Lake Basin; determine the age, growth, length, weight, condition, diet, and reproduction of introduced fish species in Waldo Lake; interrelate the above information to show how these components of the natural-cultural system are related. Fish were collected one week per month from early June through mid-October in 1992 and 1993. Variable mesh experimental gillnets set in nearshore areas were used to capture fish in 1992.

Wilderness Solitude Monitoring on the Cascade Crest
WILDERNESS SOLITUDE MONITORING IN THE CASCADE CREST Jesse Engebretson & Dr. Troy Hall Oregon State University College of Forestry Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society Report Prepared for the Willamette National Forest September, 2015 1 Executive Summary This report documents the use and results of a modified version of the National Minimum Protocol for Monitoring Outstanding Opportunities for Solitude in Wilderness (Hall, 2014) for the Willamette and Deschutes National Forests (WNF and DNF). This work was undertaken to fulfill Element 5 of the 10-year Wilderness Stewardship Challenge, which states that wildernesses should have adequate direction, monitoring, and management actions that protect opportunities for solitude or primitive and unconfined recreation. Further, this analysis can be used over the long term to assist Forest Service personnel in managing visitor use to help preserve wilderness character. The major purpose of this report is to document the state of solitude at selected locations in six wildernesses across WNF and DNF by presenting results of travel and campsite encountering monitoring conducted in accordance with the national minimum protocol. However, by using data collected in the 1991-93 field seasons, this document also compares travel encounter numbers between 1991-93 and 2013-14 for several locations. In addition to the minimum protocol, the 2014 crew also collected data on overflights, both fire and non-fire related. The analysis presented in this report Following the minimum protocol does not lead to data robust enough to establish definitively whether or not encounter standards are being exceeded. Therefore, this report cannot state conclusively whether encounter standards as established in the WNF and DNF Forest Land and Resource Management Plans are being exceeded.

Box 325 Lowell, Oregon 97452 Lakes of the Wilamette Western Oregon is not usually thought of as lake country. Yet, the Willamette National Forest, covering 1,600,000 acres along the west- ern slopes of the Cascade Mountains, has more lakes than anyone has ever counted. By conservative estimate, they number more than 500, ranging from huge Waldo Lake covering 6,420 acres to innumer- able small ponds less than an acre in size. There are several reasons why the Willamette is not thought of in terms of its lakes. First, most are within the forest, surrounded by dense timber and thus of low visibility.

Hood National Forest, Willamette National Forest Unique Landscape Features Five glaciers mantle the slopes of stately Mount Jefferson, the dominant feature in this region of the High Cascades: Whitewater, Waldo, Milk Creek, Russell, and Jefferson Park. At 10,497 feet, Mount Jefferson challenges hikers with the steepest, most difficult climb of Oregon's high summits. The southern portion of the area rests beneath 7,841-foot Three Fingered Jack. Most of the high country of this Wilderness is wide open, almost like a park, with scattered tree cover, long talus slopes, rocky outcroppings, alpine meadows, and year- round patches of snow. Between 5,000 feet and 6,000 feet you'll find more than 150 small lakes, about half of them stocked with trout. A grand forest of Douglas fir, silver fir, subalpine fir, mountain hemlock, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, and cedar mix with vine maple, huckleberry, and rhododendron to distinguish the lower elevations. The vast Warm Springs Indian Reservation shares a long northeastern border.
