Just like the other reviews said, Colliding Rivers is exactly what it sounds like. The North Umpqua…read moreRiver and Little River running head first into each other. We were here visiting family and had already planned a trip to Crater Lake. Even though it wasn't raging and spectacular it's a neat place to stop and check out this unnatural event. Since there hadn't been rain in awhile it was pretty mild (see pics), but if you can time it right and there has been rain for a few (or more) days it becomes much more glorious. Nice little stop area that is kept clean and has a couple nice vantage points for viewing. If you're in the area this should make your list of nature oriented things to do, especially if you are already heading up the North Umpqua for a day of site seeing.

It's a very beautiful spot here. I wish people didn't liter and trash the area so often. People can…read morebe very disrespectful with the trash they leave.

This is a pretty nice area to walk and it looked like it had some good fishing. The main issue was…read morethat there were a lot of unleashed dogs and people not paying attention to them so if you walk with your dog on a leash expect random dogs to come running up to you. That definitely less into the positive experience there but it was beautiful nonetheless. I would not go out of my way to come here unless I was fishing but if you're in the area and in the mood for a walk near the water this is a great place to stop

Many waterfalls and swimming holes along this amazing and shaded trail…read more Love mossy rocks? How about lush ferns? How do you feel about cascading water? Do you enjoy dipping your feet into cold water on a hot summer day? Or how about swimming among giant redwood trees? If any of this sounds appealing you need to visit Sweet Creek Falls. We came in the middle of summer and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon hiking, meditating, and swimming. There are 11 waterfalls ranging in size and close to 2.5 miles all together of shaded trails to explore, rustic bridges included. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Oregon last summer. Know before you go: Parking lots at each trailhead. Super stinky bathroom located only at Homestead Trailhead. Dog friendly. And most importantly FREE! *Don't be surprised to see topless women swimming. We all have breasts and it's a beautiful thing to be free especially in a place like this. If this bothers you just look away. *Don't use Yelp directions as they'll take you to the wrong place. Use Google instead. I've reported this several times but like nearly everything I report Yelp ignores it. And Happy Earth Day! If you haven't discovered what nature can do for your soul I highly recommend getting away from the daily grind, turning your phone off, and just enjoying what places like this can do for you. It's truly magical.

Awesome trail with multiple waterfalls. Trails were nice and clear of debris and branches. A few…read morespots with bigger rocks, roots, and water. Gorgeous scenery! There are so many photo opportunities. Many different bridges along the trail allow you to walk over the water. There is a part of the trail where you have to walk through a small stream. I wasn't wearing the proper gear and didn't want wet shoes and socks, so we headed back at that point and headed towards the upper parking lot. The upper trail still had snow on the ground, and the parking area was pretty soggy. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We would love to come back again during a drier season. Highly recommend!

Pretty decent prices for a big room with a view of the Umpqua River. The heater in our room was…read morebroken, but the owner was very kind to give us a heater that worked really well to heat up the entire room! The only downside is you can hear the traffic of the highway at times, but to be expected as the hotel is right there on the side of the highway. I'm sure this is a great place that fills up fast in the summer.

You can't beat the location and the couple, Krista & B that run the Inn are very friendly and have great recommendations for local food and things to do/see. Our room was very clean and the bed was super comfy. The view from our room was amazing. Pet friendly, close to town (but not too close) and right down the road from an Elk Reserve. You will see Elk! Can't wait to come back.

There are two boat ramps-one on each side of the long dock where you can launch a boat. There are also places to hang on the bank and get into the water without a boat. It's a beautiful reservoir with pine and deciduous trees along the bank. A perfect place to spend a day on the water.

Most important he asked my mother (who is a WOC) if she brought gun board the ship Cause he didn't want her to put it to his head if she wanted to go back sooner He then asked if she had bricks in her purse. He said he was joking and my mom called him out on not having a joking tone nor did he ask this to any other person on the ship. When I heard this I was livid I talked to John/Sharky and he defended Josh Even though he agreed that it was wrong A simple honest apology would have gone a long way but Josh then said that he was not sorry nor did he do anything wrong and it was our fault for taking his joke wrong As we walked away Josh was smirking This company is ok with stereotyping and making people feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed John/sharky needs to educate those he employs so that this doesn't happen again Do I expect it no, this is the same man that has not even put a pLock on his bathroom door though in previous complaints he said he would. We were already planning out next trip out with them but guess what this town is full of charters Bottom line if you care about how you are treated NEVER GO TO SHARKYS

Overall, this is a nice place to check out, I bet the camping rocks.

This is a little late but the saying is, better late than never. Honestly, I thought I had left a…read morereview but when I checked, it was not here so here it goes... For my husband's birthday I decided to give him a charter fishing trip. We woke up bright and early and signed in. My husband told me to take seasick pill even after I told him that I don't get seasick. I kind of think this was the cause because... Yep, you guessed it, after we were on the bumpy water and I had caught one whole fish, I started feeding the fish. My entire trip was me feeding fish. Oh, wait, except the one time I decided to feed try the reel again and slipped going head to head with the fish in the bins beneath me. I could have sworn one was screaming "Nooooooo!!!!" As I was trying to avoid him. The crew was so amazing! They had to try and balance taking care of me along with the many fishermen/women/kids. They even changed location of smoking because I told them it was making it worse for me (yes, they smoke on the boat). The crew caught my fish for me so when hubby and the rest were finished we had plenty of fish. I highly recommend taking this charter and plan on going again sooner than later...but without the seasick pills. Really, I think that was the cause. ;) ........ .. .... ....................
