Umpqua National Forest

Umpqua National Forest spans over 700,000 acres in Oregon, offering a diverse landscape for outdoor recreation across multiple seasons. The forest supports hiking and backpacking on numerous trails, dispersed camping throughout the backcountry, and fishing in its streams and lakes. Scenic driving routes wind through the forest, providing access to viewpoints and trailheads, while hunting opportunities draw visitors during established seasons. The terrain and climate shift with elevation and season, making late spring through early fall the primary window for most activities, though winter access is limited by snow at higher elevations.
