Scottsburg Park is a convenient day-use boat launch on the tidal-influenced lower Umpqua River in Douglas County, Oregon. The park offers ample parking with turnaround space for trailers, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters launching on this section of the river. Amenities include a playground and picnic areas, making it a good family-friendly stop. Note that a parking fee applies.
The ramp provides access to a portion of the Umpqua River that experiences tidal influence, which paddlers should consider when planning trips regarding water levels and current conditions. The park is located near other recreation opportunities including Fawn Creek Campground and Smith River Falls Campground. For overnight trips, East Shore Campground is available within 10 miles and offers reservable sites. Boaters should check current river conditions and tidal cycles before launching.
