Table of contents

The North Umpqua River Hike is a tough hiking route in Oregon that follows a portion of the 79.0mi long North Umpqua Trail. While out hiking this route, you will round the shores of Toketee Lake and climb uphill through the forest alongside the winding North Umpqua River. This is a long and fairly challenging hike, so be sure to bring plenty of water and to wear proper hiking boots with good support.

Route Description for North Umpqua River Hike

If you want to experience the rigors of the North Umpqua Trail, but aren’t keen on hiking a one-way route, then the North Umpqua River Trail is the perfect route to explore.

Setting out from the edge of National Forest Development Road 4776, you will head northeast on Clearwater Plant Road as it skirts the edge of Toketee Lake. Keeping left at the junction, you will cross over both the North Umpqua River and NF-34 in order to pick up the trail.
