Y
ou can stand on top of the Cas-
cade Mountains to the east. You
can stand on the beach of the
Pacific Ocean to the west.
Douglas County features those extremes
and plenty of diversity in between.
Theres the North Umpqua River and
Diamond Lake in the Douglas fir-covered
mountains and Salmon Harbor and Win-
chester Bay on the coast.
In between are the hundred valleys of
the Umpqua with a blend of grasses, oaks,
madrones and firs.
In those valleys are 12 incorporated
cities and several smaller communities.
The biggest is Roseburg, the county seat,
which is split by both Interstate 5 and the
South Umpqua River.
To the south are Myrtle Creek/Tri City,
Riddle, Canyonville, Days Creek and
Glendale. Highlights in those areas
include Galesville Reservoir, Seven Feath-
ers Casino Resort and the South Umpqua
River.
In north Douglas County, there are Win-
chester, Sutherlin, Oakland, Yoncalla and
Drain. Points of interest include Umpqua
Community College, Cooper Creek Reser-
voir and the Oakland Museum.
To the west is Winston, Camas Valley,
Elkton and Reedsport. Wildlife Safari,
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, the Elkton
Community Education Center and the
Umpqua Discovery Center are featured
attractions.
To the east is Glide, gateway to the
Umpqua National Forest, forest trails and
high Cascade lakes.
The countys economy is as varied as its
land, its wildlife and fish, with people
working in everything from agriculture to
manufacturing to timber.
There is also a large retirement commu-
nity.
For all of the countys residents, there
are professional and retail services.
People live here because they like the
four seasons of the area. There are no
extended freezing periods nor major snow-
falls to the west of the Cascades. And
there are no extended days of summer
over 100 degrees.
In between there are April showers that
turn the countryside a lush green. The
summers warmth usually continues
through September.

emories of weekends spent
indoors during long rainy
winters are erased when sun
and warm weather returns to
the Umpqua Valley. The numerous festi-
vals that fill weekends celebrate the coun-
tys rich history, timeless culture and cur-
rent hobbies. Artists collaborate, car
enthusiasts congregate and the Scottish
compete as every town has something to
offer. Here is a list of festivals set for this
summer. Use these as an excuse to get out-
side, because pretty soon the sun will dis-
appear for another Southern Oregon win-
ter.

T
he Umpqua Valley wine scene
continues to flourish.
Construction of the Southern
Oregon Wine Institutes Danny
Lang Teaching, Learning and Event Cen-
ter at Umpqua Community College is now
complete and a full line of classes are
being offered.
Out in the vineyards, more acres have
been planted in the past year, most notably
the 350-acre Blue Heron Vineyards in
Garden Valley west of Roseburg.
According to the Umpqua Valley Wine-
growers Associations website, the land
and soils of central Douglas County are
ideal for growing a variety of grapes: The
complex topography of the Umpqua Val-
ley, formed by the convergence of three
mountain ranges of varying ages and
structure, contributes to the occurrence of
varied soil types and the many sub-valleys
known as the Hundred Valleys of the
Umpqua. The rich diversity of landscapes
and climates provide a wide range of con-
ditions needed to produce an exciting
array of grape varieties. The cooler valleys
allow varietals such as pinot noir, pinot
gris, and Riesling to flourish while the
warmer valleys include merlot, cabernet,
syrah, tempranillo, and Grenache. Overall,
the Umpqua Valley is Oregons most com-
plex wine growing region.
More on the association can be found on
its website at www.umpquavalleywiner-
ies.org.
Following is a listing of vineyards and
wineries in Douglas County.
ABACELA
Earl and Hilda Jones sought a location where
they could craft Spanish tempranillo wine.
They needed a climate with a cool spring, dry,
hot summer and cool early autumn. They found
it near Winston and planted the grape in 1995.
The winerys Vine & Wine Center is open daily
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. To reach the winery, take
Exit 119 off Interstate 5 to Winston. Follow High-
way 99 to Highway 42 and go west at Brockway
Road. The winery is a half-mile to the right
through a gated driveway.
Information: 541-679-6642 or
www.abacela.com.
ANINDOR VINEYARDS
Rod and Nina Pace searched for six years for
a prime spot to produce a premium varietal that
would not be in competition with California vine-
yards. They chose a spot in the Umpqua Valley
three miles south of Elkton.
The winery produces pinot noir, pinot gris,
Riesling and Gewrztraminer. It is at 1171 Vin-
tage Drive, Elkton. Tasting room hours are 11
a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday from
Memorial Day through Labor Day. Information:

BECKER VINEYARD & WINERY
Charlie and Peggy Becker like to
describe theirs as a boutique winery, given
that only 650 cases of wine are produced
there. The vineyard is found on a small
bench above the Umpqua River west of
Roseburg. The Beckers say their wines
require a minimum of enological interven-
tion.
The winery offers pinot noir ros, caber-
net sauvignon, syrah, pinot noir, Mller-
Thurgau and pinot gris, and some blended
red table wines.
The winery, which has a deck available
for picnics, is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
daily year-round. It is at 360 Klahowya
Lane. To get there from Roseburg, head

year or so. The vineyard is located at 3400 Gar-
den Valley Road, Roseburg.
Pinot noir, pinot gris, viognier, chardonnay,
tempranillo and sauvignon blanc have been
planted and the first harvest is scheduled for this

The operation, owned by Hal and Vicki West-
brook, does have room to plant more grapes
and to build a winery in the future if desired.
BRADLEY VINEYARDS
Vines were first planted at Bradley Vineyards
in 1983 and now cover 25 acres in Elkton.
All Bradley Vineyards wines are made from
estate-grown grapes. The tasting room sells

style dessert wine.

Elkton, is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday
through Sunday from Memorial Day weekend

BRANDBORG VINEYARD & WINERY
Terry and Sue Brandborg joined forces in
1999 to launch a search for the perfect pinot
noir location. They visited Elkton in July
2001 and decided it looked and felt right.
Their property is 25 miles from the ocean, at
an elevation of 750 to 1,150 feet.
Brandborgs wines are handcrafted with
minimal intervention with the goal of pre-
serving the character of the fruit. The own-
ers select a variety of grapes, all from local
vineyards.
The tasting room is open 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. daily except major holidays at 345 First
St. in Elkton.

world decor to complement new-world inter-
pretations of wine made from pinot gris, pinot
noir and syrah grapes. Hours are from 11 a.m. to

grape varieties: zinfandel, tempranillo, syrah,
Mller-Thurgau, merlot, dolcetto and cabernet
sauvignon.

estate, one of Oregons oldest, in 1971. Their first vintage of commercially
released wines hit the shelves in 1983.

maker at age 24 in 1999. Located near Tenmile, Girardet features 40
acres. Growing in the vineyard is cabernet sauvignon, sangiovese, bar-
bera, baco noir, pinot noir, Riesling, chardonnay, pinot gris, zinfandel, tem-

harvest off their 5.5-acre vineyard, but in the meantime they purchased
some grapes and produced their first vintage last fall.
The vineyard, that was planted in July 2011, is located at 213 Indepen-
dence Lane, located off Old Garden Valley Road near River Forks Park,
just west of Roseburg.
The winery will eventually make about 20 wines, but its signature wines
will be sauvignon blanc, merlot, cabernet franc and muscat.
Information: 541-580-4867 or www.glaserestatewinery.com.
HENRY ESTATE WINERY
Five generations of the Henry family have farmed the Umpqua Valley,
and three generations now run the estate. The family has found that the
winerys location is similar to that of the Burgundy region in France. As a
result, the climate and soil type are ideal for growing varietal grapes such
as pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay, Riesling and Mller-Thurgau.
Located seven miles west of Sutherlin in Umpqua, Henry Estate Winery
is at 687 Hubbard Creek Road. The tasting room is open daily from 11
a.m. to 5 p.m. except major holidays.

HILLCREST VINEYARD & DISTILLERY
Dyson and Susan DeMara bought Oregons oldest varietal winery in
2003. HillCrest had been founded by Oregon wine pioneer Richard Som-
mer in 1961, with the help of Adolph Doerner, whose family first planted
wine grapes in the Umpqua Valley in 1888.
The DeMaras sought to continue Sommers legacy while making inno-
vations such as creating state-of-the-art fermenters. A distillery has also
been recently added.
HillCrest today produces several wines including cabernet sauvignon,
pinot noir, Riesling, zinfandel, syrah, chardonnay and a selection of library
wines.
Tours and wine tasting are offered 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from March

MELROSE VINEYARDS
Wayne and Deedy Parker arrived at the site of an early French settle-
ment in 1996; Wayne was on a mission to plant a sizable vineyard. The
flooding of the South Umpqua River during the winter of 1996-97 slowed
the vineyard development, but eventually the goal of a small boutique win-
ery was achieved and the first wines were in the barrels by 2000.
In addition to a gift boutique, the winery offers catering services, wed-
ding packages, a picnic area, space for RVs and a balcony with a
panoramic view of the estate grounds and vineyards. The vineyard, owned
by Wayne Parker, is about 250 acres. Cody Parker is Melrose Vineyards
winemaker.

yard ranging from 700 to 1,000 feet in elevation. They

t Wildlife Safari, youll feel like
youre the one whos captive,
not the animals, according to
Executive Director Dan Van
Slyke.
You are captive in your car and the ani-
mals run free, he said. The whole con-
cept is to give you the feeling, without
going to Africa, that you are in Africa.
ADouglas County attraction since 1972,
the drive-through wildlife park houses
more than 500 animals on 600 acres in
Winston.
Wildlife Safari is committed to getting
visitors face-to-face with a variety of exot-
ic beasts, both while driving through the
park and during group animal encounters
lead by keepers, Van Slyke said. Visitors
can play tug of war with a lion, feed
giraffes lettuce, pet an elephants trunk or
toss an apple to a hungry grizzly bear,
among other up-close and personal activi-
ties.
You dont
get to do that at
many institu-
tions, Van
Slyke said.
Wildlife
Safari is con-
stantly evolving,
he said.
We make a
conscious effort
to keep making
new exhibits,
bringing in new
animals every
year, Van Slyke
said.

newest exhibit
gives visitors to

lage, which is free to the public, a taste of
Australia, Van Slyke said. The Australian
Walkabout includes several wallaroos, a
pair of black swans, dozens of brightly
colored budgerigar birds, a kookaburra
and a cockatoo. Visitors can walk a path
through the enclosure and go inside an
aviary to hand feed the birds and take pho-
tographs. It costs $1 to feed the birds.

UMPQUA RIVER LIGHTHOUSE
Located off Highway 101 south of Winchester Bay, this scenic light-
house overlooks the mouth of the Umpqua River and the Oregon
Dunes National Recreation Area.
The lighthouse opened in 1894 and is one of five still operating on the
Oregon Coast.
The 65-foot conical tower stands 165 feet above the water. The hol-
low lens is 6 1/2 feet in diameter, 9 1/2 feet tall and weighs 2 tons. Its
616 prisms were hand-cut in Paris and assembled in 1890. Currently,
the lens revolves around a stationary 1,000-watt lamp. There are two
white beams and one red beam that shine out toward the ocean and
through the trees behind the lighthouse, creating a captivating light
show at night.
The Douglas County Parks Department has renovated the former
Coast Guard Station Umpqua River building north of the lighthouse into
a museum. Guided lighthouse tours begin at the museum, which has
information about the first Umpqua River Lighthouse and the timber
industry.
The platform near the lighthouse provides a prime location to watch
the whale migration twice a year, usually during spring break. Call for
dates.
Admission to the museum, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. during the summer and fall, is free. Lighthouse tours are offered 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. daily through the end of October. The fee is $3 per person

Young will perform at 8 p.m.
on Tuesday, Aug. 7. The enter-
tainment lineup also includes
Sublime with Rome (Aug. 8);
Theory of a Deadman (Aug.
9); Queensryche (Aug. 10);
and LaserSpectacular, featur-
ing the music of Pink Floyd
(Aug. 11).
The shows are free with fair
admission. The cost is $9 for
adults, $7 for seniors and $4
for children ages 6 to 12. Park-
ing costs $5 per vehicle. Free
bus shuttle rides are available
from several locations in Rose-
burg and Green.
This years fair theme is
Feel the Beat, emphasizing
the energy and rhythm of the
fair, Phillips said.
Eugene teenager Savanna
Coen, who wowed the crowd
last year when blues singer
Buddy Guy asked her to come
on stage and perform a couple
of songs with him, has been
signed to her own gig on the
Charter Communications Gar-
den Park Stage. The 14-year-
old will appear at 7 p.m. Satur-
day.
That will be fun to have her
back, Phillips said.
After two years of popular
performances from the Chinese
Acrobats of Hebei, the fair this
year has booked Zuma Zuma
African Acrobats, a troupe of
performers from several
African nations. The group,
which gained fame when it
reached the finals of the TV
show Americas Got Talent,
offers a mix of acrobatics, cir-
cus routines and street per-
formances.
Phillips saw the group per-
form on the streets of Las
Vegas and said they were a hit.
They stopped the crowd,
he said. Theyre really ener-
getic and theyre going to be
fun to watch.
The fair is bringing back the
Northwest K-9 Challenge
Championship, featuring dogs
in competitive jumping in a
long pool. Also known as Air
Dogs, the event proved popular
in previous years.
Alot of people wanted us
to bring them back. Everyone
enjoyed seeing them jump off
the docks, Phillips said.
The fair has added a second
carnival ride bracelet day for
kids. For $23, youngsters can
ride all of the rides they can
between the carnival opening
and 5 p.m. Saturday has been
the traditional bracelet day.
This year, the same deal will
be offered both on Wednesday
and Saturday.
It should be a great fair. We
look forward to having people
come out, Phillips said.

GRAFFITI
The News-Review
C
lassic car collectibles and
hot rods, dating back to
the early days of the auto-
mobile industry, will roll
into the central Douglas County
area July 4-8 for the 2012 Graffiti
Weekend, the 31st annual event.
About 1,000 drivers attend the
event, showing off their meticu-
lously restored cars in five days of
cruising Douglas Countys streets.
Spread over those days are about
15 different events Wednesday
through Sunday.
Theyre fun and the people have
that laid back attitude when things
were a lot simpler than they are
right now, said Graffiti Weekend
Committee member Don Larson.
What started out as a simple idea
between a couple of local car clubs
has blossomed into an occasion
that draws about 20,000 spectators
and participants over its five-day
span.
The Umpqua Flatheads Roseburg
Graffiti Night Cruise for vehicles
1972 and older is scheduled for 6
to 9:30 p.m. Saturday in downtown
Roseburg. About 600 cars are
expected to participate in that
cruise.
The Saturday show-and-shine
event at River Forks Park typically
draws as many as 500 to 1,000
cars, Larson said, and the interest
expressed so far in the event sug-
gests it will be just as popular this
year.
People have been buying cars
so theyll have one this year. Peo-
ple have been fixing them up so
theyll have one. Some people even
plan their reunions around it Im
told, Larson said.
About 70 percent of the regis-
tered cars come from out of the
area.
Graffiti Weekend had its first run
back in 1982, with participants and
spectators reliving the 1950s by
cruising some classic cars down
Harvard Avenue in Roseburg.
Now, each summer, hundreds
gather downtown to join the
founders of the Graffiti Night
Cruise in remembering a simpler
time.
Since those early days, the cruise
has grown into one of Douglas
Countys most noteworthy events,
chock-full of hot rods, barbecues
and other family entertainment
known as Graffiti Weekend.
Anybody interested in sponsor-
ing an event or being a partner of
an event can call 541-672-5634 for
more information. Details are also

DIAMOND LAKE
CRAIG REED
The News-Review
T
he catch at Diamond
Lake during the 2011
fishing season was
175,284 trout. But theres plen-
ty of fish left.
The Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife estimates
that 400,000 legal-sized (8
inches or better) rainbow trout
will be available to anglers this
year.
Anglers have had to be
patient during this seasons
first month. Alate winter
resulted in a total ice cover on
the lake after one third of the
lake still featured open water
through February.
Ayear ago with similar con-
ditions, the ice didnt melt off
the Cascade Mountains lake
until the Memorial Day Week-
end in late May. Rick Rock-
holt, the marketing director at
the Diamond Lake Resort,
expects a similar timeline for
the ice to melt this year. Four
to six weeks after the ice is
gone, ODFWwill begin releas-
ing 166,000 3- to 6-inch trout
into the lake to replace last
years take and to maintain the
lakes overall trout population.
During the recent off-season,
ODFWofficials decided to
make the eight-fish a day limit
a permanent regulation, elimi-
nating the temporary label it
had for 2011. Diamond Lake is
the only water in Oregon that
features an 8-fish limit.
I think its a wonderful
thing for families that come
here to fish, and its good for
the lake, said Steve Koch,
president and general manager
of Diamond Lake Resort. Its
a better reward for what is paid
for the license. Its an opportu-
nity to harvest quite a bit more
fish. With the price of fuel, the
ability to catch more fish will

help offset some of the travel
costs.
I know theyre (ODFW)
trying to balance the food
source with the fishery, and
this should keep the health of
the lake steady, he added.
The largest trout weighed by
the resort in 2011 was 7.25
pounds. The average length of
trout caught in 2011 was 15
inches with 3 percent of those
being 20 inches or longer.
Rockholt said that the resorts
2-year-old 4-pounder club dou-
bled in size during 2011 as
about 25 anglers weighed in
trout that topped that mark.
Rockholt said he believes
there are 10-pounders in the
lake.
There were an estimated
50,000 angler visits to the lake
in 2011.
Most people fishing at the
lake use Power Bait, with char-
treuse and fluorescent orange
colors being most popular. The
bait is fished 18 to 24 inches
off the bottom. Other options
are night crawlers or trolling
with Ford Fenders with either a
small lure or worm.
Rockholt said fly fishing
should also prove to be pro-
ductive as fingerlings that were
stocked at 3 to 4 inches last
year should now be 13 to 15
inches and should know how
to forage for food.
In anticipation of preventing
future algae blooms or the
possible re-introduction of tui
chub or arrival of another non-
native species the U.S. For-
est Service and the ODFWare
requesting all boaters to wash
their crafts and trailers before
visiting Diamond Lake. Inter-
pretive signs are placed around
the lake, explaining the threat
of invasive species. Agency
workers will be available to
answer visitors questions.
Also, be on the lookout for a
mobile boat washer at landings
before launching your vessel.
The ODFWis monitoring
the health of the lake, measur-
ing biological indexes. Holly
Huchko, an ODFWfish biolo-
gist, said algae blooms during
the hot summer months are
common for some Douglas
County waters. She added,
however, that Diamond Lake
blooms have been shorter in
duration than blooms of past
years.
This years annual free fish-
ing weekend no license
required will be held June 9
and 10, with Derby Day on the
9th and kids prizes awarded
for the biggest fish.
The sixth annual Blackbird
Fishing Derby is scheduled for
June 23-24. Last year there
were about 1,000 entries. A6
1/4-pound trout won the
$1,000 first prize. Cash prizes
are also presented for the top
10 big fish.
Diamond Lake Lodge will
host its annual Independence
Day celebration with games,
live music and activities on
July 4. Fireworks will be shot
off over the lake beginning at
10 p.m.
For bicycling enthusiasts, an
11-mile paved path circles the
lake and provides a popular
ride.
Hikers have numerous
options to explore around Dia-
mond Lake, with the 79-mile
long North Umpqua Trail near-
by and the Mount Thielsen Trail
culminating at 9,182 feet on the
spire that looms to the east.
Besides the resort, there are
also 450 Forest Service camp-
sites around the lake. The
majority, 300, are available to
campers on a first-come, first-
serve basis.
In the winter, skiers and
snowboarders flock to the lake
to glide on cross-country trails
or enjoy Oregons oldest snow-
cat skiing operation on Mt. Bai-
ley.
Diamond Lake is especially
popular among snowmobile
enthusiasts. The resort grooms
more than 300 miles of snow-
mobile trails in the woods and
around the lake and also has
machines available for rent.
For those who are learning
how to downhill ski or just
want to merrily slide on an
inner tube, check out the tub-
ing hill at the resort. Atow
rope provides countless returns
to the top of the hill.
Most snow equipment needs,
including rentals, are available
at the resorts shop.
Boating and fishing return
when winters grip relents at
the end of April or early May.

NORTH UMPQUARIVER
The News-Review
T
he North Umpqua
River is a bubbling
emerald-green torrent
that flows west from
the Mount Thielsen Wilderness
over boulders, through deep
pools and meets its confluence
with the South Umpqua River
just northwest of Roseburg.
This is a world class river
whether youre doing rafting
or fishing, said Sharon Blod-
gett, owner of North Umpqua
Outfitters. She said the above
average snowpack means this
years water level will be high.
There are several dozen
miles of world-renowned fly
fishing for steelhead within the
North Umpqua river system.
Fishermen and kayakers also
flock to the river throughout
the year, while locals find
peace and quiet in its deep
pools and excitement on tubing
trips over rapids during the
summer.
Follow their lead at Amacher
Park underneath the Winches-
ter Bridge, where droves of
tubers and rafters launch their
crafts for a full day of floating
to River Forks Park. But
always wear a life jacket,
because a few rapids can be a
bit of a surprise.
High up the South Umpqua
River, nature has created one
of its cooler swimming holes at
South Umpqua Falls in the
Tiller District of the Umpqua
National Forest.
In the Steamboat area of the
North Umpqua, a 31-mile
stretch of the river is open to
fly-fishing only. This area is
considered a fly fishermans
mecca for the summer steel-
head entering the Steamboat
Creek Drainage.
River users can call the
North Umpqua Ranger Station
at 541-496-3532 for daily
reports on fishing and boating
conditions, as well as river lev-
els.
There are numerous boat
ramps in Douglas County to
serve fishermen on the river, as
well as on the many lakes dot-
ting the Umpqua National For-
est and Oregon coast.
Spring chinook are also a big
draw on the Umpqua River.
The salmon enter the main
stem from March to June, hold
in deep pools from July to
August and spawn in Septem-
ber and October. The salmon
can weigh as much as 50
pounds.

RIVER ACCESS
The North Umpqua River can be
accessed at many different points.
Most have adequate parking for a
number of vehicles. Visitors are
asked not to park in developed
recreation sites.
Distance from Roseburg to river
access sites:
Baker Park 24.2 miles
Smith Springs 26.9
Susan Creek (picnic) 28.2
Wright Creek 34.1
Bogus 3 4.7
Gravel Bin 39.9
Apple Creek 43.1
Horseshoe 46.6
Dry Creek 47.2
Weeping Rocks 49.8
Boulder Flat 52.4
OTHER BOATING AREAS
Slower-paced boating can be
enjoyed on other parts of the North
Umpqua River. Access points
include Lone Rock Wayside or Col-
liding Rivers in Glide; Whistlers
Bend Park off Highway 138, 15
miles east of Roseburg; Amacher
Park off Highway 99 at Winchester;
and Hestnes Landing, four miles
west of Winchester.
River enthusiasts of all ages can
enjoy the North Umpqua during the
summer. Rubber rafts and inner
tubes are common sights on hot
summer days. The boaters or
floaters often end their trip at River
Forks Park, five miles west of Rose-
burg off Garden Valley Road.
Springtime high water on the
South Umpqua River above Tiller
and on Little River south of Glide
also offer exciting rafting and kayak-
ing opportunities for experienced
white-water paddlers.
SAFETY REMINDER
All boaters should wear life jack-
ets, whether casually floating along
in inner tubes or crashing their
kayaks through pounding white
water. Area rivers have tricky waters
that are cold and dangerous to navi-
gate, even for good swimmers.

NORTHUMPQUA TRAIL
The News-Review
T
he North Umpqua Trail is a
peaceful, 79-mile path that drifts
along the North Umpqua River
and winds through stands of old-
growth trees.
The trail begins at Swiftwater Park, 22
miles east of Roseburg, and ends at Maidu
Lake, the source of the North Umpqua
River, in the Mount Thielsen Wilderness.
In the early 1970s, hiking enthusiasts
envisioned this trail through the Umpqua
National Forest and began advocating for
its construction. Through the efforts of
countless volunteers and several federal
and local government agencies, the North
Umpqua Trail broke ground in 1978 and
was completed in 1997.
Today the North Umpqua Trail offers
12 primary trailheads that provide parking
and access to segments varying from 3.5
to 15.7 miles in length. The Tioga Seg-
ment is on Bureau of Land Management
land, while all other segments are in the
Umpqua National Forest and maintained
by the U.S. Forest Service.
Primitive camping along the trail is
allowed, but it is recommended only in
locations out of view from other trail

CRATER LAKE
The News-Review
C
rater Lake, the deepest lake in the
country, lies 106 miles east of
Roseburg, just across the Dou-
glas County line in Klamath
County. Oregons one and only national
park, Crater Lake National Park is about
100 miles east of Roseburg and may be
reached by driving east on Highway 138.
The park was established in 1902 as
pleasure ground for the benefit of the
people of the United States. The park
includes 249 square miles dedicated to the
preservation of its natural resources.
In addition to the deep, blue waters of
the lake, the park is home to pristine rivers
and forest lands.
Long revered and considered sacred by
the Klamath Indians, the lake was not seen
by white men until 1853, when gold
prospectors stumbled upon it.
According to the U.S. Geological Sur-
vey, newspaperman Jim Sutton gave the
lake its present name in 1869.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Two visitor centers offer information on park
attractions and programs. The Steel Information
Center, four miles north of Highway 62, is open 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, except on Christmas Day, from
November to early April; summer hours are 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Phone: 541-594-3100.
The Rim Village Visitors Center, seven miles
north of Highway 62, is open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
daily from late May to late September. This center is
closed October to May.
Park information is available online at
www.nps.gov/crla.
The park has more than 90 miles of trails for hik-
ers, skiers and snowshoers to explore. Trails are
generally snow free from mid-July through October.
Hiking opportunities range from the gently slop-
ing one-mile Godfrey Glen trail, one of two dis-
abled-accessible trails, to the rigorous five-mile
round trip up Mount Scott, the highest point in the
park, to 33 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Theres only one way to get to the surface of the
lake: The strenuous, 1.1-mile-long Cleetwood Trail
on the northeast corner of the rim. It takes three
hours to get down to the lake and back up again,
and the trail drops nearly 700 feet in a mile.
From the bottom of the trail, boat rides are avail-
able around the lake, usually at 10 a.m., 11 a.m.,
noon, 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. daily, tentatively from early
July through mid-September. Tours leave at 9:55
a.m. and 1 p.m. daily for dropping people off on
Wizard Island for a three-hour period and then pick-
ing them up to tour the lake.
Visitors may fish at the lake, stocked with fish
decades ago. Kokanee salmon and rainbow trout
took to the lake and reproduced. No license is
required, theres no limit, and theres no season.
Private boats are not allowed on the lake. People
must fish from the shore, either from the Cleetwood
Cove docks or from Wizard Island.
Bike rentals are not available in the park, but the
33-mile Rim Drive is popular with cyclists. The drive
circles the crater and offers spectacular scenic van-
tage points.
Usually from the end of October to late May, the
park may only be accessed from the west or south
entrance off Highway 62. But sometime in early
June, the north entrance opens off of Highway 138.
The full rim drive normally opens in early July.
Park admission is $10 per car or $5 by bicycle.
Annual passes are available for $20. Passes for all
national parks are also available at $80.
The park is free during the winter, providing
snowshoers, cross-country skiers and snowboard-
ers recreational opportunities.
During the winter season, rangers lead free
nature tours on snowshoes to explain how animals,
trees and humans adapt to the chilly climate. Snow-
shoes are provided.
The tours are 12:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sun-
days. Space on each tour is limited; the minimum
age is 8. To reserve, call the Steel Visitor Center.
There are many marked and unmarked cross-
country ski trails available to skiers of all skill levels.
No rental facilities exist at the park for skiers and
snowshoers.

The News-Review
D
ouglas County boasts one of the
highest concentrations of water-
falls in Oregon. More than 60
waterfalls are publicly accessi-
ble within the Umpqua and Rogue basins.
Brochures listing many of the most pop-
ular falls are available online at
http://tinyurl.com/umpquafalls2. Afull
listing of Southern Oregon waterfalls can
be found at
www.waterfallsnorthwest.com/nws.
ALONG HIGHWAY 138 EAST
Susan Creek Falls
A nearly 1-mile trail, which is wheelchair-accessi-
ble, leads hikers through a forest setting to the 50-foot
drop of Susan Creek Falls. A moss-lined rock wall bor-
ders the falls on three sides. To reach the falls from
Roseburg, take Highway 138 East to the Susan Creek
Picnic Area, about 29 miles. The parking area is
across from the Susan Creek picnic area.
Fall Creek Falls
This 1-mile trail winds around and through slabs of
bedrock and past the natural, lush vegetation to a dou-
ble falls with each tier 35 to 50 feet in height. Its a
good walk for families with children and grandparents.
The Jobs Garden Trail, which takes off at the half-mile
point, leads through a Douglas fir forest to the base of
basaltic, columnar rock outcroppings. Both trails are
located off Highway 138 at Fall Creek, about 32 miles
east of Roseburg in the Umpqua National Forest.
Little Falls
Fish jump up this 5- to 15-foot break along Steam-
boat Creek. The falls can be found by driving 1 mile up
Steamboat Creek Road 38, which leaves Highway
138 at Steamboat, 39 miles east of Roseburg.
Steamboat Falls
A viewpoint showcases this 25-foot waterfall. Some
fish attempt to jump the falls, while others use an adja-
cent ladder. Drivers take Highway 138 east to Steam-
boat, about 39 miles, and turn on Steamboat Creek
Road 38 and continue for 6 miles, then turn onto Road
3810 and travel to the Steamboat Falls Campground
entrance.
Toketee Falls
Toketee Falls, located 59 miles east of Roseburg, is
one of Oregons most celebrated waterfalls. Access to
it reopened last spring after being closed for two years
after a storm caused a dozen trees to fall across the
trail leading to the falls and a viewing platform. A 300-
foot hardwood stairway leads visitors to the platform
overlooking the falls, which plunges 100 feet over a
sheer wall of basalt with a double-tier waterfall on top.
Take Highway 138 east from Roseburg to Toketee,
about 59 miles. Turn off Highway 138 on Road 34, the
west entrance to the Toketee Ranger Station. Cross
the first bridge and turn left. The trail is a half-mile long.
Watson Falls
This majestic waterfall is the highest in Southern
Oregon and fourth-highest in Oregon, with a drop of
272 feet. Watson Falls is located on Road 37, off High-
way 138 near the east entrance to Toketee Ranger
Station, about 61 miles east of Roseburg. The falls are
not wheelchair-accessible.
Whitehorse Falls
Relax on the porch-like vista overlooking this 10- to
15-foot punch bowl waterfall along Clearwater River.
Take Highway 138 east of Roseburg about 67 miles to
Whitehorse Falls Campground. A viewing platform is
wheelchair-accessible.

HUNTING
CRAIG REED
The News-Review
F
rom deer to turkeys, the
call of the wild is strong
in Douglas County. The
areas hills, rivers and deep
woods offer excellent opportu-
nities for sportsmen during
respective hunting seasons.
People interested in the
hunting available in Douglas
County are encouraged to
obtain Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife big game
and game bird regulations to
check dates, boundaries and
regulations.
These are available at the
ODFWoffice at 4192 North
Umpqua Highway, Roseburg,
or at counters in stores where
sporting goods are sold.
GAME
Douglas County is one of the
best counties in Oregon for hunting
blacktailed bucks. The deer are
found almost everywhere in the
county. Numbers are higher on
agricultural land and on 5- to 20-
year-old harvested units in the
forests.
Roosevelt elk live throughout the
county. They feed in new clearcut
areas and use more mature timber
for cover and shelter.
The best population of black
bears in Douglas County is in the
Coast Range around berry patch-
es and old orchards. The next best
place to find bears is in the
lower Cascades.
Douglas County has a healthy
population of cougars. These big
cats are primarily found in good elk
and deer habitat since these ani-
mals are their favorite foods. The
entire state is open to cougar hunt-
ing, but specific areas will be
closed if mortality quotas for the
year are met in that zone.
Douglas County also is home to
many other species including coy-
otes, bobcats, raccoons, silver gray
squirrels, beaver, otter and
muskrats. Very few of these ani-
mals are hunted by the general
public but they are pursued by trap-
pers. Silver gray squirrels are not
legal to trap, but are legal to hunt.
FOWL
Turkeys were introduced to this
area back in the 1980s. The coun-
tys turkey population has expand-
ed into one of the largest in the
state. There are now two turkey
hunting seasons in Douglas Coun-
ty in the fall and spring.
Turkeys are scattered through-
out the county. Much of their habi-
tat is on private land so it is always
a good idea to obtain permission
from landowners before hunting
season begins.
Other game birds in the county
are mountain quail, valley quail,
blue grouse, ruffed grouse, band-
tailed pigeons, mourning doves,
crows, ducks and geese.
Brushy hillsides, creek bottoms,
springs and clearcut areas provide
homes for the mountain quail. Dou-
glas County has good populations
of the bird. Valley quail are found in
agricultural areas on the valley
floor. Most of their habitat is private

just a few of the creatures that call these
parts home. While animals of all kinds
can be spotted throughout the county, a
few choice locations provide ideal view-
ing.
Watching wildlife
DEADLINE FALLS
A quarter-mile, disabled-accessible
trail leads to the Deadline Falls
Watchable Wildlife Site. Between
June and September, visitors may
see anadromous fish jumping the
falls on a journey from the ocean to
their spawning grounds in the North
Umpqua and its tributaries.
The trail, maintained by the Rose-
burg office of the Bureau of Land
Management, is at the beginning sec-
tion of the 79-mile North Umpqua
Trail and takes off from Swiftwater
Park, on the south side of the river, at
Idleyld Park.
DEAN CREEK ELK VIEWING AREA
The Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area
is located on Highway 38 about four
miles east of Reedsport.
Enhanced wetlands and improved
pastures attract wild fowl and Roo-
sevelt elk in numbers sure to please
bird- and wildlife-watchers.
Visitors can also catch a glimpse
of deer that are attracted to the area.
The best times for viewing elk are
early morning and just before dusk.
Sixty to 100 of the elk freely roam 440
acres.
The viewing area, jointly managed
by the Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife and the federal Bureau of
Land Management, extends along a
three-mile stretch of the highway.
The tourist-friendly viewing area is
always open, unless closed for major
repairs, and has restrooms, benches,
wheelchair access and a spotting
scope. For information, call the BLM
Coos Bay office at 541-756-0100.
ELKTON BUTTERFLY PAVILION
On a trip to or from the coast, trav-
elers can stop and see some of Ore-
gons smaller and more colorful
species of wildlife at the Elkton Com-
munity Education Center, 15850
Highway 38.
Butterfly gardens featuring Ore-
gon native and butterfly-friendly flow-
ers and plants serve as a stopping
point for monarch and painted lady
butterflies.
A pavilion and butterfly life-cycle
display can help visitors learn how to
create habitat and attract butterflies to
their own gardens.
The nonprofit center is open from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from Memorial
Day through Labor Day. RV parking
available. There is no admission fee,
but donations are appreciated.
For information, call 541-584-2692.
MINER WOLF WILDLIFE SITE
A fish habitat restoration project in
Wolf Creek, a tributary of the
Umpqua River, is the attraction at the
Miner Wolf site. The creek, which had
been degraded by natural and man-
made disturbances, has been refur-
bished to enhance the habitat for
coho, steelhead and cutthroat trout.
A nature trail, restroom, picnic area
and information board telling about
anadromous fish are at the site.
The wildlife site, managed by the
Roseburg BLM, is about 33 miles
northwest of Roseburg. Take Inter-
state 5 north to Sutherlin and turn
west on Highway 138. Turn left on
County Road 9 and go about six
miles to Umpqua. Turn right on Coun-
ty Road 33 and follow for 11 miles to
the Tyee access bridge. Turn left on
BLM Road 25-7-5.1 and cross over
the Umpqua River. Go three miles to
the site.
NORTH BANK HABITAT AREA
Wild turkeys, a purple martin
colony and Colombian white-tailed
deer removed from the endan-
gered species list in July 2003 are
among the wildlife that live in the
North Bank habitat area, which spans
6,500 acres off North Bank Road
between Glide and Wilbur.
The BLM acquired the former cat-
tle ranch in 1995 after a land swap to
secure habitat for the white-tailed
deer. Visitors can explore wildlife via
foot or horse, but vehicles are off-lim-
its on the old roads.
ROCK CREEK FISH HATCHERY
This hatchery 23 miles east of
Roseburg was closed to the public
during 2011 because of ongoing con-
struction projects, but hopes to open
again this summer.
The projects are the ROCK-ED, an
education themed building with dis-
plays and a classroom, and a fish
passage and water intake facility on
Rock Creek. The hatcherys new
nature trail has also been cleared of a
rock, mud slide and signs and bench-
es installed to complete that half-mile
project that circles the hatchery.
Different sizes of fish from tiny fry
to adults are raised throughout the
year at Rock Creek. The fish include
summer and winter steelhead, coho
salmon, spring chinook and rainbow
trout.
Rock Creek Hatchery has a dis-
abled-accessible trail and platform
overlooking a natural in-stream hold-
ing pool. It also has a picnic area.
The fish hatchery is off Highway
138, just east of Idleyld Park. Turn left
onto Rock Creek Road and drive
about half a mile to the entrance on
McCarn Lane.
Information: Rock Creek Fish
Hatchery, 541-496-3484.
WEEPING ROCKS SPAWNING
Spring chinook salmon spawning
activity can be seen easily from High-
way 138 at Milepost 49 in late Sep-
tember and October. Look for the
cleaned gravel depressions, called
redds, where these large fish have
stirred up the gravel and deposited up
to several thousand eggs.
WILDLIFE POND, STEWART PARK
Western pond turtles can be seen
basking in the sun and ducks nest on
the islands of the wildlife pond next to
the Fred Meyer store on Garden Val-
ley Boulevard in Roseburg. Resident
and migratory birds, including mal-
lards, wood ducks, wigeons, green-
winged teal, swallows, finches and
Canada geese are among those that
use the pond. Boy Scouts built a bird
blind that allows visitors to view, draw
or photograph wildlife from a covered
shelter. Biologists advise visitors not
to feed the birds or animals.
WINCHESTER FISH LADDER
During the nearby Interstate 5
interchange construction project, the
fish ladder had been inaccessible.
But the parking lot area is sched-

CRAIG REED
The News-Review
T
heres hardly a time during
the year that fish cant be
caught in Douglas County.
The 2012 Oregon Sport Fishing
Regulations should be read to
determine if certain waters are
closed to fishing during certain fish
runs. Anglers should also check the
regs to determine fishing gear
restrictions.
Spring chinook are one of the
most abundant fish in the Umpqua.
The salmon enter the Umpqua
River from March through June.
The South Umpqua River, the
mainstem Umpqua and Smith River
contain most of the fall chinook.
The summer steelhead run is
composed of both wild and hatch-
ery fish. The best fishing for sum-
mer steelhead is from June to
October.
Fly-fishing for summer steelhead
is popular on the North Umpqua,
especially in the 33 miles of fly-
angling-only water from Rock
Creek upriver to Soda Springs Dam.
The North and Smith River have
healthy runs of wild winter steel-
head. The South Umpqua has both
wild and hatchery runs.
Coho, also known as silvers, are
found throughout the Umpqua
River system.
Rainbow trout is the species of
trout most commonly stocked into
lakes in the Umpqua system. The
reservoirs are stocked annually
with hatchery rainbow trout of
legal size (8 to 12 inches) just prior
to spring vacation in March.
Cutthroat trout are found
throughout the entire Umpqua
Basin. The uppermost section of
the North Umpqua and Lemolo
and Toketee reservoirs are home to
brown trout.
Agood population of brook trout
exists in the Clearwater River, a
tributary of the upper North
Umpqua River, near Toketee. Sev-
eral high lakes are stocked with
brook or rainbow trout.
Smallmouth bass are found in
the main Umpqua from Elkton to
River Forks, and from the lower
South Umpqua to Canyonville.
Largemouth bass are concentrat-
ed in numerous ponds and valley
lakes and reservoirs or in such sec-
ondary habitats as sloughs off the
main Umpqua.
All local reservoirs have good
numbers of bass for warm water
anglers.
Striped bass roam continuously
from fresh water to salt water and
back in the main Umpqua and
lower Smith River. Striper fishing
is best during the spring months.
Shad are found from River Forks
Park downriver to Sawyers Rapids
during May and June.
Other warm water species like
bluegill, crappie and green sunfish
are plentiful in most reservoirs
and ponds.
property so permission is
needed to hunt.
Blue grouse are found
primarily in higher-eleva-
tion forests where they
spend a lot of time near
berry patches and on the
edges of clearcuts.
Creek and river bot-
toms, springs and other
moist areas are popular
home sites for ruffed
grouse.
Weather and migration
dictate whether band-
tailed pigeons will be
found in Douglas County
during the hunting sea-
son.The birds frequent
forests around mineral
springs through summer
and early autumn. After
the first warm rains fall, the
birds move to berry patch-
es and when cooler rains
hit, the pigeons begin their
migration to California
where they will winter.
Like bandtails, mourn-
ing doves can be found
in good numbers in Dou-
glas County whenever
theres a long, warm fall.
Douglas County is not
a major population center
for ducks, but there are
small populations of
wood ducks, mallards
and a growing winter
population of wigeons.
Canada geese were
brought into Douglas
County several decades
ago and the population
has expanded dramati-
cally. They are found pri-
marily along rivers and
livestock pastures.

SAFARI
One of the wallaroos, Willie,
has been raised at Wildlife
Safari since he was six months
old. Three other wallaroos, a
member of the kangaroo fami-
ly that eat grasses and shrubs,
joined Willie, 2, at the park last
fall.
Alion observation is another
newer portion of the Safari Vil-
lage. The wooden observation
deck overlooks a grassy enclo-
sure and allows visitors to see
the lions from the Safari Vil-
lage without paying admission
for the drive-thru portion of the
park.
Soon to be on view in the
Safari Village are two of the
parks newest additions. Chee-
tah cubs Mchumba and
Khayam were born on leap
day. Once theyve got their
vaccinations, the cheetahs can
be seen by the public starting
Memorial Day, Van Slyke said.
Wildlife Safari is one of
seven parks in the United
States where cheetahs are bred.
With the arrival of Mchumba
and Khayam, 168 cheetah cubs
have been born at Wildlife
Safari since it opened in 1973.
The two newest cubs are the
first born in the United States
this year.
The cubs were taken from
their mother, 7-year-old Mar-
lindi, after she acted oddly
around her offspring. Handlers
were worried she might aban-
don or harm her cubs. Taking
the cubs from Marlindi means
that Wildlife Safari staff mem-
bers must raise the animals. As
newborns, they required feed-
ing every two hours and 40
minutes. Because of their
human contact, Mchumba and
Khayam will become cheetah
ambassadors, animals that han-
dlers take with them to schools
and other places to educate the
public about cheetahs, which
can reach speeds of up to 70
mph, Van Slyke said.
There is just no better show
animal than to bring a cheetah,
Van Slyke said. Right now,
we only have one ambassador
cheetah so were limited by
where we can go.
Khayam was named after the
park's first cheetah ambassa-
dor, an 11-year-old cat that
died in 1986. He was immor-
talized with the bronze statue
at the intersection of Highway
99 and 42 in Winston. The
name is a Swahili word mean-
ing one who lives in tents.
Mchumba, also taken from
Swahili, means sweetheart.
By this summer, 29-year-old
Blippo the hippo, who was
also born at Wildlife Safari,
should have a buddy, Van
Slyke said. The park plans to
get another male hippo to join
Blippo so he wont be lonely,
Van Slyke said.
Each new addition makes
Wildlife Safari an attraction
worth visiting over and over,
Van Slyke said.
The real life blood of any
park is for people to want to
keep coming out, he said.

ANYONVILLE Beginning as
a humble bingo hall on the edge
of town in 1992, the Seven
Feathers Casino Resort enters its
20th year with much more panache and a
lot more going on.
The Nevada-style casino added to its
extensive gaming floor with a new high
stakes slots area in April.
The machines join the casinos bevy of
existing slots, table games, live poker and
Keno. The new slots will take up residence
where Keno games used to be located and
Keno is moving to the former bingo area.
And, yes, bingo is still called at the
grown-up casino, its just moved upstairs
above the main gaming floor.
Owned by the Cow Creek Band of the
Umpqua Tribe of Indians, the attraction is
off Inter-
state 5s
Exit 99.
Growing
up means
getting big-
ger and
Seven Feath-
ers has come
a long way
from its start
as the small Cow Creek Bingo Hall.
Today, the complex boasts a 300-room
hotel, an upscale spa, international buffet
and fine dining to accommodate the one
million guests who visit Seven Feathers
annually, according to the resorts website.
In September 2011 the hotel added orig-
inal, fine art to its catalogue of diversions
when it opened Gallery 7. The gallery sets
original art, mainly from Douglas County
artists, along the 50-foot corridor between
the resort and the casino. Artwork rotates
about every three months as new shows
and artists are showcased.
Across the freeway is the Seven Feath-
ers Truck and Travel Center and Seven
Feathers RV Resort.

ules for upcoming concerts and events,
