Luckiamute Landing State Natural Area is near Albany is a quiet oasis for boating, paddling, hiking and some people think it’s a nudist beach.
This will be our first outing Luckiamute Landing, I’ve heard some good thing about this area.
The Luckiamute River meanders through the 615-acre north tract, flowing into the Willamette River from the west and just a stone’s throw from the Santiam River confluence from the east. Hikers can park at the North Trailhead and take the 3-mile North Unit Loop trail along a meadow and through a hardwood forest of Oregon ash and maple.
