From
an exciting whitewater river
ride to a fabulous salmon fishing
expedition on the Pacific Ocean,
almost anything you can dream
to do outdoors is accessible
in or near Roseburg. This region,
called the Land of Umpqua, is
best known for the bounty and
power of its rivers, where steelhead,
other wildlife and waterfalls
abound.
The
rivers run from the high Cascade
Mountains through fertile valleys
and from the Coast Range to the
Pacific Ocean. Lush park systems
have almost as much to offer.
Hikers, bikers, bird watchers,
rafters, fishers, golfers, skiers,
skaters, boaters, ball players,
campers and anyone else hungry
for outdoor fun find their paradise
here.

is internationally recognized
as a bountiful habitat for
