Rogue River Dispersed Campsites

## Overview

Bald Knob Lookout is perched atop Bald Knob at an elevation of 3,630 feet in
the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The lookout offers visitors a unique
lodging experience and panoramic views of the surrounding area.  
  
Originally developed in 1931 as a lookout site, Bald Knob served as an
Aircraft Warning Service (AWS) observation station between 1942 and 1944. The
Forest Service removed and replaced the original with the present flat top
structure in 1963.  
  
The lookout tower is available for reservations from Memorial Day through
October, and guests must bring several of their own amenities to ensure a safe
and comfortable stay.

## Recreation

Hiking, birding, and wildlife viewing are popular among guests to this
lookout. Seasonal changes envelope the area as snow melt gives rise to spring
time flowers, and vivid autumn colors welcome a landscape blanketed with snow.
The Panther Ridge Trail is accessible from the facility and follows an
historic Native American travel corridor. Approximately 95% of this trail is
within the Wild Rogue Wilderness, and is closed to any kind of motorized
vehicles or equipment. The trail travels under magnificent stands of old-
growth timber and through rhododendron and scrub oak undergrowth. Another
notable trail is the nearby Coquille River Falls Trail. The hike switches back
and forth through a virgin stand of undisturbed Douglas-fir, hemlock, and
Port-Orford cedar trees, ending at the Coquille River Falls. Learn more about
the geology of waterfalls along the Coquille River.

## Facilities

The 16 x 16 foot one-room flat top cabin's furnishings include a single bed
and a small table and chairs. Due to recent vandalism to propane tank and
winter storm damage, there will be no propane heat, stove, refrigerator, and
lights available until the next 2026 season. Outside amenities include a
picnic table and campfire ring. A primitive vault toilet is located
approximately 100 feet from the tower. There is no water on site, so visitors
must bring plenty of their own for drinking, cooking and washing. Guests must
also supply their own food, cooking utensils, sleeping bags, sleeping pads,
towels, dish soap, matches, cooking gear, toilet paper and garbage bags.
Please bring your own light source. The site has sufficient space for one
small tent, but strong winds could blow a tent off the mountain unless
adequately weighted down inside.

## Natural Features

Visitors to the Bald Knob Lookout will be treated to spectacular views
overlooking Eden Valley to the north, the Rogue River to the south, and the
forests beyond.  
  
The unique character of the landscapes comprising the Rogue River-Siskiyou
National Forest has led to over 340,000 acres of the Forest to be preserved as
a designated wilderness area, and over 200 miles of streams as National Wild
and Scenic Rivers.  
  
Diverse landscapes provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife, from spotted
owls and bull elk to salamanders and sandhill cranes. These species, along
with many others, depend on the undeveloped wilderness, undisturbed wetlands,
clean streams, and diverse forests to live.

## Nearby Attractions

Visit Crater Lake National Park and learn about its unique natural and
cultural history. Reaching depths of 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest
lake in the United States and one of the ten deepest lakes in the world.  
  
Experience 172 miles of diverse river and mountain landscapes along the Rogue-
Umpqua National Scenic Byway. Travel from rolling oak-covered hills and
towering coniferous forests, to roaring white water rapids and incised inter-
canyon lava flows. The highway travels alongside the Upper Rogue and North
Umpqua Wild and Scenic Rivers that contain world-class fisheries.

Grassy Flats Dispersed Campsites

## Overview

Lake of the Woods Lookout is surrounded by mountainous terrain, forested
hillsides and spectacular views within the Rogue River-Siskiyou National
Forest in southwestern Oregon.  
  
The flat-roofed cabin was originally a "ground house" located on Barklow
Mountain in the Powers Ranger District. It was flown by helicopter to its
present location and placed on a 12 ft. tower and catwalk in 1974. It was then
staffed during fire seasons from 1974 to 1996.  
  
The lookout offers some amenities, but guests are asked to bring a few of
their own supplies to ensure a safe and comfortable stay.

## Recreation

Hiking, mountain biking and stargazing are popular among guests at the
lookout. Seasonal changes envelope the area as snowmelt gives rise to spring
time flowers, and vivid autumn colors welcome a landscape blanketed with snow.  
  
Logging roads and trails extend from the area, providing guests with
opportunities to explore the area's old-growth forests, rugged and steep river
canyons and a variety of wildlife.  
  
Far away from city lights, the lookout provides a fantastic opportunity for
stargazing. Guests to the lookout search for constellations, planets and are
treated to an occasional meteor slashing the night sky.

## Facilities

The lookout is a one-room cabin, able to accommodate up to four people. It is
equipped with a double bed with a mattress, a table and two chairs, a propane
stove, solar lights, cleaning supplies and a fire extinguisher. Shower stall
is provided, however, guests must provide the water. On site, adjacent to the
lookout, there is a picnic table and a campfire ring for outdoor dining. A pit
toilet is also located outside the tower. There is sufficient room for one
tent, but the ground is extremely rocky. Guests to this lookout should be
prepared for a rustic camping experience, and will need to bring several of
their own supplies. There is no water on site, so visitors must bring a
sufficient amount for drinking, cooking and washing. Guests must also provide
their own sleeping bags, sleeping pads, towels, dish soap, matches, cooking
gear, first aid kit, toilet paper and garbage bags. Although lighting is
provided, it is recommended guests bring an additional light source in case of
emergency.

## Natural Features

Lake of the Woods Lookout provides a panoramic view with vistas of the Pacific
Ocean, the Kalmiopsis and Wild Rogue Wilderness areas, and the Wild and Scenic
Illinois and Rogue River canyons. In the spring, the nearby Lake of the Woods,
which is actually a fairly small shallow pond, is surrounded by wildflowers
and welcomes the arrival of several species of birds and butterflies. As
summer progresses, the lake fills in with tall reeds and grasses. Lightning
storms are a part of the thrill of staying at a lookout, but they are also
extremely dangerous. If a lightning storm should occur, guests are urged to
follow these safety rules to minimize the danger: Stay indoors or completely
inside your car If you are trapped outside during a lightning storm, move to
lower ground and stay low to the ground. Do not stand under trees or other
high objects. If you are in the lookout building, close the windows and doors.
Lightning follows air currents: Do not touch anything metal. The Lookout has
metal stairs and a metal walkway around the cabin; It is imperative guests do
not stand at these locations during storms.

## Nearby Attractions

Opportunities for swimming and fishing are within 10 miles of the lookout.
