Umpqua River Lighthouse

It features a beautiful revolving, octagonal, red-and-white First Order lens. The light shines 24 hours a day, but viewing is more spectacular after sunset.
History:This lighthouse is the second on this site when the first, which was built closer to the river in 1857, was washed away by floods in 1863. In 1983, the light was in disrepair, and the Coast Guard installed an airpost beacon on the tower and made plans to remove the original lens. After an outcry from local residents, the lighthouse was repaired to it's normal function.
Constructed in: 1894
Open to Public:yes - there's a viewing area along with a campsite and Lake Marie. If you would like to visit the lighthouse, take Highway 101 six miles south of Reedsport, and turn at the park signs. There are two entrances off the highway.
Location:South of Reedsport near the Umpqua Lighthouse State Park.
