This lighthouse has a 65-foot tower, which started in 1890. It is located near Reedsport and Umpqua Lighthouse State Park. First illuminated in 1894, Umpqua River lighthouse gives off very distinct red and white flashes. Visitors can check out the inside of the lighthouse, nearby park, or Lake Marie.
This lighthouse is a must see after dark (especially in the fog). The rays of red and white light revolve above you like the spokes of an umbrella. It is realy breathtaking.

This lighthouse isn't as photogenic as the others along the coast (surrounded by a wire fence & US Coast Guard buildings) but its gleaming white tower overlooks the Oregon Dunes where you can see an ORV on the sand.
