Umpqua National Forest - Welcome!
Rugged Beauty
Nestled on the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains, high Cascades glaciation, whitewater rapids, and explosive geologic events have shaped the landscape of the Umpqua National Forest.
The Umpqua National Forest protects 983,239 acres of forest across Douglas, Lane, and Jackson Counties. The Forest is headquartered in Roseburg and has four ranger districts: Cottage Grove, Diamond Lake, North Umpqua, and Tiller. The Forest is also the home of the Dorena Genetic Resource Center and Wolf Creek Job Corps Center.
