North Umpqua River Day Trip
The North Umpqua is O.R.E.'s favorite southern Oregon one-day whitewater trip. Flowing through a gorgeous, thickly forested, steep-walled canyon, the North Umpqua offers sparkling clear water and numerous challenging rapids.
The North Umpqua sports more rapids per mile than most runs, and the rapids are great fun at any time of year. Spring is the ideal time to raft the North Umpqua if you're looking for white-knuckle thrills, while summer offers warmer weather and a more relaxed pace.
This one-day North Umpqua trip features the exciting 12 miles from Boulder Flat put-in to Gravel Bin take-out, encountering such drops as Boulder Hole, Cardiac Arrest, Weird Weir, African Queen, and Pinball.
This is a stream renowned for its outstanding steelhead fishing. The combination of large summer-run steelhead, fly fishing only restrictions, and outstanding scenery draws anglers from all over the world.
Nearby attractions include Crater Lake National Park, Diamond Lake, and numerous waterfalls including Toketee Falls as well as Watson Falls (Oregon's third highest).
Pre and post-trip lodging is available at the Steamboat Inn, known for its scenic riverside setting and fine cuisine.
