Chimney Peak Trail #3382 rapidly descends for 0.75 mile to the Middle Santiam River. You can enjoy exploring Shedd Camp Shelter and a nearby swimming hole. The trail continues across the Middle Santiam River (no bridge) and travels north through majestic old growth forests. The trail crosses Pyramid Creek (no bridges) before rising to Forest Road 2041 (closed in winter.) Trail crosses Forest Road 2041, enters Middle Santiam Wilderness and reaches Donaca Lake in less than three miles. Beyond Donaca Lake, through the heart of the wilderness, the trail gradually gains elevation to the base of Chimney Peak. Adventurous explorers might want to ascend the rocky peak to the place where a fire lookout once stood. This trail is 12.7 miles long and is rated difficult.
