Reedsport,
located at the confluence of Smith
River, Schofield Creek and Umpqua River, is a magnet for
fishing enthusiasts, particularly those who enjoy getting “off the beaten
track” for a good catch. The
Reedsport and Winchester Bay area offers easy access to both offshore and
river fishing.
Dune riding is the area’s second most popular sport. Reedsport and
Winchester Bay, lay claim to some of the highest sand dunes in North
America. ATV’ers and dune buggy enthusiasts come from all over the country
to ride the dunes at The Oregon Dunes National Recreational Area. The
recreational area, which stretches more than 40 miles north and south of
Reedsport is a favorite location for hikers as well.
Campers will enjoy Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, which overlooks Lake Marie
and is equipped for RVs, tent camping and day use.
Over the years, Reedsport’s diverse cultural and ecological history has
given rise to a number of unique attractions. Its award-winning Tsalila
Festival, which takes place each September, combines Native American culture
and tradition with educational exhibits on ecology, watershed restoration
and salmon recovery. The Umpqua Discovery Center, in Reedsport, builds upon
this theme with exhibits on the area’s cultural ancestry. The Discovery
Center also overlooks the beautiful Umpqua River and provides education
about the surrounding Umpqua River Estuary.
