Natural Features

Visitors to the Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. High Cascades glaciation, whitewater rapids, and explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the 983,239 acres of forest that provides spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources.

Verdant stands of hemlock, fir and cedar transition to forests of mixed conifers and hardwoods at lower elevations, while alpine ecosystems dominate high peaks.

The translation of the word "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area. The Forest's waterways and diversity create desirable habitat for many species of fish and wildlife, in addition to providing outstanding recreational opportunities to our local communities and visitors.

Such a peaceful experience. The falls that are right there only added to the serenity of the site. The bathroom was clean too. Simple, affordable, and serene.

Beautiful cozy campsites right next to the creek! Perfect for a family wanting access to water or a couple on a relaxing trip watching nature go by. The campsites and vault toilet were well maintained and clean. Just a short walk and you get a great view of Clearwater Falls.
