Located in Elkton at the confluence of Calapooya Creek and the Umpqua River, Alfred S. Tyson Park offers convenient river access for boaters, kayakers, and anglers. The park features a functional boat ramp along with basic amenities including picnic areas and restrooms, making it a practical launch point for exploring this section of the Umpqua River.
