The North Umpqua Trail offers 12 primary trailheads which provide parking and access to segments varying from 3.5 to 15.7 miles in length. For campgrounds nearest the trailhead, check the segment maps on this website or in the brochure. Primitive camping along the trail is allowed but it is recommended in locations out of view from other trail users. Mott is the only trailhead with drinking water.

TRAIL SAFETY & COURTESY

Carry an ample supply of water. Do not drink untreated water.
Know your hiking limit. Some trail segments are very long.
Hikers and mountain bikers should move to the side or just off the trail when encountering horseback riders.
Mountain bikers should travel at a safe speed on the trail.
Bikers and equestrians should give verbal warning when nearing hikers from the rear or on blind curves.

After hiking, inspect yourself for ticks, which attach themselves and live off the blood of mammals. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease.
Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets are a common occurrence along the trail. Carry necessary kits, if needed.
Check seasonal fire restrictions before lighting a campfire. For the BLM portion, call the Douglas Forest Protection Association at 541.672.6507. For segments on the Umpqua National Forest, call the corresponding ranger district listed on the Contact Information Page.
