Natural features
Visitors to the Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. Explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the nearly 1 million-acre forest, and provide spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. The translation of the word "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area. High mountain lakes, heart stopping rapids, peaceful ponds and thundering waterfalls, including the beautiful Toketee Falls, offer visitors plenty to see and do.
