The Scott Mills Weekly - Podcast
All the best, and sometimes more questionable, bits from Scott's weekday afternoon show on BBC Radio 2. Including the Music Police, Birthday Game and anything else that makes the cut.
www.globalplayer.comHere are the latest publicly available notes on Scotts Mills Falls, based on recent sources:
-
Scotts Mills Falls is a small, scenic 10-foot-tall, 40-foot-wide cascade located in Scotts Mills Park along Butte Creek in Marion County, Oregon. It sits near remnants of an old dam and mill sluice and is a popular site for swimming, wading, and hiking during open-season (May–October). The area is managed by Marion County and features basic amenities like picnic tables and restrooms, with a dam-removal history tied to efforts to restore salmon access in the creek. These details appear to come from Oregon-based park sources and local summaries published around 2020–2023.[1]
-
There have been related media and community discussions about the dam at Scotts Mills Falls and its removal/remediation, including drone/visualizations and watershed-group reporting that describe changes to the Falls’ visibility and the Kitty Pool as dam-related structures are removed or decayed. These materials date from 2020–2024 and illustrate ongoing interest in the site's restoration and safety implications.[2]
-
There is also broader media coverage and interest around the Scotts Mills area in 2024–2026 due to dam-removal discussions and related local projects, though not all sources focus on the waterfall itself. Some content is in video or podcast formats that discuss dam-removal scenarios and potential improvements to access and scenic views.[3][2]
