This Gallery is
the story of the Umpqua River Valley.The
Snowy Egret soars through the
Umpqua Valley, only minutes
from Upper Klamath Lake which she calls home. The
Umpqua Indians, for whom this land is named, were
FAR from their home in Canada when they migrated to
this Indian Paradise 1000 years ago. Since then there
has always been a Fisherman on
the Umpqua…and not uncommonly, a
fisherwoman on the Umpqua.
Vineyards,
Cattle ranches, vegetables and
fruit orchards populate this area known as the “Hundred
Valleys of the Umpqua”. This geography, hillsides,
ponds and river drainages,
sends water to the ocean…calm water seen from
Tyee Road to crashing waterfalls
of the Rogue-Umpqua Byway. There are 3 major waterfalls
in the Umpqua National Forest,
accessible by the Rogue Umpqua Byway. They are
the vigorous Clearwater Falls...
the tallest (272 feet) Watson Falls...and
the prettiest, and graceful Toketee
Falls. Little River and the North Umpqua
join near Glide at "Colliding Rivers" with thrashing
waves in the winter.
Winston’s Wildlife Safari provides an opportunity
for animals like the largest Asian
antelope to thrive and the plump
sleepy eyed lion to rest.
Near Reedsport, the Dean Wildlife Viewing Center caters
to a large number of Roosevelt Elk
often seen just before nightfall.
If you are in the mood for the idyllic or the robust…a
romp in the woods…or an afternoon of fishing…the extraordinary
Umpqua River Valley has it all.
