| orientationDescription |
Lone Pine is on the western edge of the Cascade Mountains, set along Rock Creek, which eventually flows into the North Umpqua River. Majestic fir, cedar and hemlock trees dominate the mountainous region. |
| recreationDescription |
Hiking picnicking and relaxing are the primary activities at the campground. In summer, swimming in the cool creek is a refreshing treat. In spring and fall, salmon and steelheads come upriver to spawn. To protect valuable native runs of salmon and steelhead, Rock Creek is closed to anglers. Instead, head to the North Umpqua River for abundant fishing opportunities. A drive along the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway yields gorgeous views of mountain peaksforested canyons and alpine lakes. |
