🛶 Umpqua State Scenic Corridor — A small boat ramp and picnic stop on the Umpqua River in Douglas County, with land preserved for its myrtle trees and maples.
Umpqua State Scenic Corridor is a day-use stop on the Umpqua River in Douglas County. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) lists Florence as the nearest urban area. The state holds about 95.8 acres here, mostly between the highway and the river.
OPRD describes the developed part as small: a couple of picnic tables, a vault-style restroom and a short boat ramp leading into the Umpqua River. Fishing is on OPRD’s facility list as well. There is a small amount of room for trailer parking, but the lot is better suited to passenger vehicles.
There is no campground, OPRD lists no overnight use, and no day-use parking permit is required.
