Colliding Rivers

A unique geologic phenomenon at this site causes the North Umpqua River and Little River to collide (see photo below). Views are most spectacular with higher river flows during the wet season. Interpretive panels describing the geologic activity, historic and prehistoric use, and a short nature trail are located at the viewpoint. An historic structure built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938 is currently used as a visitor information center, open from May through October. Brochures, maps, and books are available at the center. For more information call (541) 496-0157. 15-30 minutes.
