In the heart of the Oregon Cascades

Detroit lies in the heart of the Oregon Cascades. Originally named Coe, it was changed to Detroit in the late 19th century due to the large number of inhabitants who came from Michigan. Its small number of residents swells during the summer months with weekenders who descend upon the town to mountain bike along the winding roads and trails or sail and waterski across Detroit Lake. The Detroit vacation rentals are available year-round, offering the opportunity for snowy activities like cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter wonderland.
