With mild winters and moderate summers, blossom-filled springs and brilliantly colored falls, Roseburg's four seasons are a treat. Set in the Hundred Valleys of the Umpqua, the scenery is beautiful. The North and South Umpqua Rivers join just 12 miles west of town and the South Umpqua runs through Roseburg. Dense forests of Douglas Fir, hemlock and cedar are peppered with rivers and streams flowing throughout. Drive the beautiful Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway to stunning Crater Lake. Enjoy fishing, hunting, boating, whitewater and paddle rafting on the rivers, nearby lakes and streams; bicycling scenic paths along the river; mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking and waterfall hiking in the Umpqua National Forest. For the hard-core, there's snowcat skiing at Mount Bailey or rock climbing on one of the 233 nearby routes. Swing away at one of the local golf courses or tennis courts. Tour the many historic homes and districts and visit local wineries, Wildlife Safari, Winchester Dam Fish Ladder, Rock Creek Fish Hatchery, and many other cultural and festive venues.
