Umpqua National Forest - Welcome!
Rugged Beauty
Nestled on the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains, high Cascades glaciation, whitewater rapids, and explosive geologic events have shaped the landscape of the Umpqua National Forest.
The Umpqua National Forest protects 983,239 acres of forest across Douglas, Lane, and Jackson Counties. The Forest is headquartered in Roseburg and has four ranger districts: Cottage Grove, Diamond Lake, North Umpqua, and Tiller. The Forest is also the home of the Dorena Genetic Research Center and Wolf Creek Job Corps Center.

Water Safety on the Umpqua
When temperatures start to warm up, folks start to head to the water. Nothing beats sitting by a lake on a hot day, dipping your feet into a cold stream after a long hike, or going for a paddle on a beautiful river. However, it's important to practice good water safety and to be prepared for the conditions you may find. Remember: You are responsible for your safety and for the safety of those around you. Read about some common dangers and ways to reduce risk.
