Steamboat Falls drops a good 60 feet in
three of four falls
(depending upon how
high Steamboat Creek is) all cascading off a wide shelf. This is a
vigorous waterfall. There are a lot of large boulders around so you want
to be very careful if you venture out on them. A fall could be lethal!

How to get
there:
Exit I-5
in Roseburg onto OR-138 and head east, across the river to OR-99.
Here, OR-138 follows 99 north for a couple blocks and then goes east
(right) again. It is about 18 miles to Glide and the North Umpqua
Ranger District Office (18782 North Umpqua Hwy). Stop in, get loaded
up with information - which will help increase your enjoyment of the
coming sights.
From Glide
continue east on Hwy 138 to Steamboat and Forest Road #38. Turn left
onto the Forest Road and follow it about 5.5 miles to Forest Road
3810. Turn right, cross the bridge (this is Steamboat Creek)
continuing about 0.7 miles to the Steamboat Falls Campground.
The Steamboat
Falls Overlook is a mere 50 feet from the parking lot.
