Reedsport

This community is located in Douglas County between Florence and Winchester Bay on US Highway 101. Reedsport also is situated west of Interstate 5 along Hwy 38. Reedsport sits along the banks of the Umpqua River, at a point where the Smith River and Schofield Creek empty into the Umpqua.

This fisherman's paradise is abundant with bass, salmon, sturgeon, and trout, as well as great crabbing, clamming, and hunting (waterfowl and big game) opportunities within this ecosystem gold mine.

Incorporated in 1919, Reedsport is close to more than 17 freshwater lakes and is just two miles from the Pacific Ocean.

The area abounds in natural wonders. The Umpqua is navigable for miles both upstream (to Scottsburg) and downstream (to the ocean) from Reedsport. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area stretches 50 miles north and south from nearby Winchester Bay.

Just east of town on Hwy 38 is the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area. A permanent herd enjoys formal protection on more than 1,000 acres of pasture and wooded lands.

The Umpqua Discovery Center in Reedsport is located on the scenic Umpqua riverfront. There, one can learn how the water, land, and people shaped and changed each other.

Summer months offer numerous festivals and events to choose from, including native Indian gatherings (Tsilala) and the rugged-artist chainsaw carving competition for everyone to enjoy.
