This website is dedicated to waterfalls and how to get to them without turning
right when a left turn is needed. But, I just had to include this shot of Lake Ann.
I was on my way to find Marion Falls nearby. A four foot snowdrift stopped me cold.
At the place where I stopped I realized I was seeing something new to my eyes -
snow...sitting on ice...on a lake! The trees highlighted in the center are a plus.

Directions: Two routes

• From Salem: Head east on HWY 22 past milepost 66 and turn east onto Marion Creek Road.
• From Eugene: Head east on HWY 126. When 126 meets up with HWY 20 head east on 20 for
  three miles until junction with HWY 22. Turn left onto the access road, then turn left
  at the stop sign (HWY 22). In about 15 miles turn east onto Marion Creek Road
  between mileposts 67 and 66 on HWY 22.

1. Once on Marion Crk Rd note your odometer reading or reset your trip odometer.
2. Count up 4.5 miles to the trail starting point. Northwest Forest Pass required.
3. Lake Ann is about 1.5 miles up the trail.
