Lyons

Lyons has served as a rural settlement in Oregon’s Santiam Canyon since the late 19th century. Set on the North Santiam River, the town sits where the Willamette Valley gives way to the forested western slopes of the Cascade Range. Oregon Route 22, known here as the Santiam Highway, follows the river east toward Detroit and the high Cascades, making Lyons part of a long-used mountain corridor. Its name honors William M. Lyons, an early settler who arrived in 1880. The river, nearby forests and small-town services shape daily life more than urban development.
