The North Umpqua segment passes through rolling hillsides of mixed oak and conifers, transitioning into virgin stands of Douglas-fir, sugar pine, cedar and hemlock trees. For 40 miles the Byway parallels the North Umpqua Wild & Scenic River, famed for its remarkable emerald green waters and steelhead trout habitat. In this corridor you will discover many recreation activities -- fishing, camping, rafting, hiking, biking, photography, and watchable wildlife sites. The upper portion of the segment is rich in geologic formations which contribute to its spectacular scenery.
