The North Umpqua River is a river in southern Oregon that flows for approximately 110 miles. It has a rich history, with Native American tribes living along its banks for centuries before the arrival of European settlers. The river's hydrology is characterized by swift currents, deep pools, and impressive waterfalls. It is home to several reservoirs, including the Soda Springs Reservoir and the Toketee Lake, which are used for hydroelectric power generation. The river is also popular with recreational users, including anglers who come to fish for steelhead and salmon, and kayakers who enjoy the challenging rapids. The surrounding area is also used for agriculture, with crops such as hay and cattle grazing common along the river's banks.
