Umpqua's Last Resort
Quick Facts
Why Idleyld Park & the North Umpqua River
Idleyld Park sits along the North Umpqua River in the Umpqua National Forest, a region locals call Oregon’s “Emerald-Jewel Gateway” to Crater Lake National Park. The North Umpqua is a fly-fishing-only stretch famous for summer steelhead, with the 79-mile North Umpqua Trail running alongside and waterfalls like Watson Falls (Southern Oregon’s tallest at 272 feet) and Toketee Falls within easy reach.
Umpqua’s Last Resort is one of the highest-rated stays in this entire directory, a genuine forest oasis in the Umpqua National Forest, close enough to hike to nearly a dozen waterfalls — no cell signal is a feature here, not a bug, real disconnection in a beautifully designed property.
