About Umpqua Lighthouse State Park

This Oregon coast state park sits a short distance from the Salmon Harbor Marina on Winchester Bay. Its campground and day-use areas lie along Lake Marie, a freshwater lake where only non-motorized boats are permitted. Visitors commonly hike, picnic, fish, and paddle here, and a small sandy lakeside beach is available. The park borders the dune country of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, but it has no direct dune access, so visitors must use a nearby staging area. The Umpqua River Lighthouse, built in 1894, is about half a mile away and offers tours during the warmer months. Campers can choose tent, RV, hookup, cabin, or yurt lodging, and pets are welcome in designated units.
