North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River

The North Umpqua Wild & Scenic River is one of Oregon’s most beautiful rivers.  The river runs an emerald-green color most of the year and offers an ideal setting for many recreation pursuits.  The river flows from east to west, from Soda Springs Power House 33.8 miles to Rock Creek.  The State Highway 138 portion of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway parallels the North Umpqua Wild & Scenic River; in this corridor you will discover many recreation activities: fishing, camping, rafting, hiking, waterfalls, biking, photography and watchable wildlife sites. The upper portion of the river corridor is rich in geologic formations that contribute to its spectacular scenery.  The point on the map is the western-most boundary.
