Reedsport

A short drive from the ocean and dunes, Reedsport traverses a tangled confluence of three rivers surrounded by verdant forests and wildlife. It’s a true Oregon Coast crossroads for more reasons than one. Reedsport strives to carry on the rugged Oregon spirit and is keenly aware of its heritage as a meeting place of cultures within its ancient forested setting. Reedsport began as a camp for the men who built the Southern Pacific Railroad track to Coos Bay. Since then, it’s been a hub for the Oregon Dunes region. Chainsaw-carved wood sculptures and painted totem poles are all over town, and the Umpqua Discovery Center has exhibits on the region’s natural and cultural history. Dean Creek has covered vantage points outside of town to see the year-round population of Roosevelt Elk that live there.
