Reedsport
and the neighboring town of Winchester Bay bill themselves as the "Heart of the Oregon Dunes." Located along Coast Highway 101, just west of Interstate 5, the town of Reedsport sits on the banks of the Umpqua River, the Smith River and the Schofield River, and is the headquarters for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. This spectacular 47-mile stretch of sand dunes runs from the city of Florence, south to North Bend, and includes the tallest dunes in the state of Oregon. There are also at least 17 freshwater lakes in the Reedsport area, filled with bass, salmon, sturgeon, steelhead and trout. Hiking trails lead through the forest onto the dunes, and other activities include swimming, wildlife viewing and birdwatching, kite flying on the beach, windsurfing, picnicking, clamming, crabbing and beachcombing. The Recreation Area also has 13 campgrounds, nine day-use areas, three off-road riding areas, one overlook and a visitor center. Rentals of off-highway vehicles (OHV) are available from several private concessions located along the coast. Other attractions in the town of Reedsport include a boardwalk and Discovery Center located along the Umpqua River, the Dean Creek Viewing Area (located just outside of town on Highway 38,) and the Umpqua River Lighthouse. The nearby town of Winchester offers sightseeing boat rides and a mixture of specialty shops and gourmet restaurants.

Reedsport Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The South Central Coast of Oregon enjoys a mild climate with only rare occurrences of severe weather such as thunderstorms, tornadoes or hailstorms. The most important geographic feature that affects the climate is the Pacific Ocean, which makes up the western border of the state. Most of the storm systems moving across Oregon have been greatly modified by traveling over the ocean. As a result, winter minimum and summer maximum temperatures on the Oregon coast are also moderate. The coastal region does, however, receive an abundant amount of rainfall much of the year, resulting in occasional flooding along coastal streams. This also accounts for the rich pastures and farmland along the Oregon coast. The average annual snowfall in the region is only one to three inches, and many years there is no measurable amount.
