Lemolo Falls

Reviewed By leonardh124 - Roseburg, United States

We were able to take this hike in early July when the Washington Lilies were starting to bloom. Their fragrance was heavy in the air. They should last until the end of the month. We hiked here in May and numerous trees were down across the trail then. Only the first half of the trail has been cleared this time. 8 cars were parked at the trailhead, but it was no problem keeping our physical distance on the 1.5 mile trail.

Watson Falls

Reviewed By B1079QKanam

This hike was amazing, very accessible hike. You start off from the parking lot and have to cross the highway to access the actual hike. The hike its self was spectacular! If you are adventures and like to get to the bottom of the hike, you have that ability to get down the fall!

Stewart Park, Roseburg, Oregon

Reviewed By 329meganv - Roseburg, United States

This has been a popular spot in Roseburg for many years. It’s located next to the YMCA off Harvard Avenue. There’s a pavilion for events, halfshell dome over a stage for music in the park, great updated playground with slides, forts, swings, etc and it’s right on the river if you want to take a stroll with a river view. They have public restrooms and a short drive from the playground is a nice disk-golf course. My daughter and I sat and played in the shaded grass and had a picnic lunch while my wild toddler ran out some energy with other kids on the playground.

Clearwater Falls

Reviewed By Davigeta - Saint Louis, United States

We were driving along Route 138, aware of a number of waterfalls on this route (Watson Falls, Toketee, etc). Most of these waterfalls require hiking, some of them a lot of hiking. We came across the sign for this waterfall east of Watson Falls, and decided to turn off the road. We were NOT disappointed! Not far off 138 at all, maybe 0.2 miles. Very short hike to the waterfall. It is well worth it! Very few people in the vicinity. Nice views of the creek and you can cross it over a small bridge. SO accessible and so enjoyable.

Mount Thielsen

Reviewed By 650daleg - Myrtle Creek, United States

Skiing the Nw flanks of Mt. Thielsen was the epitomy of a mountain wilderness winter wonderland. It used to have a permanent snow cap, but the "nonexistant" global climate change has eliminated the summer snowcap. In the summer, make a long day hike to the summit for one of the most exhilarating sensation of floating over the land and incredible views. Those views, however, are now somewhat hazed out by a world-wide polluted atmosphere

Susan Creek Campground

Reviewed By mooretammy

We thoroughly enjoyed our first time camping here. I've read other reviews where there were complaints of noise so maybe we got lucky that this place was filled the whole time we were there but it was dead quiet! Everyone was super respectful of each other and even the hum of generators on a few trailers were never longer than a couple hrs. Bathrooms maintained nicely. Only drawback was showers closed this season due to Covid. Both sets of camp hosts were so friendly and welcoming and would generally come by at least once a day to see if we needed anything. We really appreciated the care and love they put in to maintaining their campground.
