Reedsport

Few cities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to the timber industry as Reedsport. Set where the Smith River joins the Umpqua River, this coastal community developed around logging, sawmills and river transport; the Umpqua’s lower reaches supported a working port and linked the town to Douglas County’s forests. The Umpqua Discovery Center tells that story alongside the region’s maritime heritage. West of town, the Umpqua reaches the Pacific near Winchester Bay, while the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area stretches along the coast.
