Fun Things to Do in Reedsport on the Oregon Coast
Reedsport is a small town on the Oregon Coast, located at the point where the Umpqua River flows into the Pacific. Reedsport is nicely situated in the midst of the famous Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. These features combine to make Reedsport a scenic and fun place to visit and an access point to a broad range of outdoor recreation. Here are my picks for fun things to do in Reedsport, Oregon.
Umpqua Discovery Center
Reedsport's Umpqua Discovery Center is a little tricky to find but well worth a visit. The museum has two wings -- one devoted to the natural history of the region, the other devoted to the human history. All of the exhibits are well designed to appeal to both children and adults. The natural history section is a simulated hike called Pathways To Discovery - Exploring Tidewater Country. The walls along the way are covered in exquisitely detailed murals containing the flora and fauna that call the area home.
Interpretive signs, exhibits, drawers, and recordings are scattered along the route, filling you in on the local critters and landscape. Be sure to spend some time in the theatre cave to view one of the short films. The other section inside of the Umpqua Discovery Center is called Tidewaters & Time. You'll take a walk through time, learning about the local human history and culture through a variety of sights and sounds. The Coastal Indian Tribes, early explorers, pioneers, loggers, fishermen, and early settlement are all covered.
The center of the Umpqua Discovery Center contains a well-stocked gift shop that includes books, nautical items, gift items, and learning toys. The museum sits along the Umpqua River. Decks and boardwalks behind the center allow you to enjoy great views of Reedsport's bridges and estuarine environment. Take the stairs up to the viewing tower to extend your view.
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park
The charming Umpqua Lighthouse lies within a working U.S. Coast Guard facility and can be visited on a scheduled tour. Nearby you'll find the Coastal Visitor Center & Museum, located in the old Coast Guard Administration Building. The visitor center houses many interesting exhibits and artifacts related to the history of Coast Guard activities in the area. Umpqua Lighthouse State Park visitors can also enjoy camping, walking trails, whale watching, and picnicking.
Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area
You'll head east out of Reedsport on Highway 38 to get to the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, home of a resident herd of magnificent Roosevelt elk. The viewing area stretches along a 3-mile section of Oregon Highway 38, with two viewing areas and several observation pull-outs. The Dean Creek Elk outdoor interpretive exhibits allow you to learn more about the elk, as well as other local flora and fauna. Another BLM-operated recreation site, the O.H. Hinsdale Rhododendron Garden, is located on the other side of Highway 38.
Oregon Dunes NRA Visitor Center
Staffed by expert park rangers, the official visitor center for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is located right along Highway 101 in Reedsport. You'll be able to find out anything and everything you want to know about Oregon Dunes activities, as well as other local recreation and attractions. The Oregon Dunes NRA Visitor Center also has a few interpretive exhibits and a small bookstore.

Newport 2013
Mom and Dad dropped down to Oregon in the middle of September to visit some friends in Bend during the Labor Day week. Upon their return we decided to spend a couple of nights over on the coast just to get away and see something different.
We stayed at the Shilo Inn, an aging but quaint seaside hotel with nothing but ocean views from every room. A majority of our weekend was spent walking from location to location including Nye Beach and downtown Newport. Our first night's dinner was at Nana's Irish Pub.
The next day we visited The Kite Company, a local kite shop on highway 101, for a repair to one of our kites. Later that afternoon we attempted to sail it in the almost too calm air along the beach near our hotel. It soared for a while but we really had very little time flying it since there was not suitable gusts to utilize.
For lunch we supped at the Rogue River Brewery (visited in a previous video and sampled their wide variety of ales and lagers along with an excellent lunch.
We walked along the fisherman's pier and observed the locals crabbing, and that's when I realized that when I'm with my parents we tend to gyrate towards people who crab (
Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for spending time with us and we had a wonderful weekend.
The Astoria Column - Must Do Historical Family Fun Activity in Astoria
The Astoria Column is a must do historical family fun activity for those visiting Astoria!
Built on Coxcombe Hill, the highest point in Astoria, the Column rises an additional 125 feet.
The Column was built in 1926. Its outside wall are decorated with a mural depicting significant historical events from the area, including the discovery of the Columbia River by Captain Robert Gray, and the arrival of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The drive up to the Column is wonderful by itself. Drive through the beautiful old neighborhoods of Astoria, then turn onto the wooded road leading up to the Column.
The Column stands at the center of a beautiful 30 acre park, complete with displays and informative signs about local Native Americans and the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The Column has an internal, 164-stair spiral staircase to the viewing platform at the top of the tower. Be careful! The stairs are steep and the continual twisting can make you dizzy! Be considerate of others on the staircase.
On a clear day you might be able to see the City of Astoria, the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the confluence of the Columbia, Lewis and Clark, and Young's Rivers (the Columbia River is 4 miles wide at this point!), Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens and Mt Adams, Saddle Mountain and the Pacific Ocean.
You can buy small balsa wood airplanes from the gift shop in the park. Throw them from the top of the tower and watch them sail forever! Don't worry, the planes are biodegradable and won't trash up the park if they get lost.
From the park you can also start the Cathedral Tree Trail. The Cathedral Tree is an ancient Sitka Spruce, with open roots at the bottom that you can walk through! The trail is usually not crowded and is a great way to enjoy the beautiful forest right in town.
Admission to the park is $2
