The swift-moving Metolius, probably the coldest stream in the state, begins in the icy springs at the base of 6,415 foot Black Butte, east of the Santiam Pass. It runs 46 miles before entering Lake Billy Chinook, the creation of the Round Butte Dam, where it merges with the Deschutes and Crooked Rivers. The Metolius, open to fly-fishing only, is regarded as one of the best rainbow trout streams in the Pacific Northwest. A road leading to Camp Sherman that branches off U.S. Highway 20 west of Sisters parallels the river for most of its course. The lodges and resorts along the road make up the Metolius River Recreation Area, Jefferson County." Oregon Department of Transportation Photo 7963
