About This Access Site
Scott Creek Boat Ramp in Scottsburg is a popular access point for fishing and recreational boating on the Umpqua River. The site features a dedicated boat launch with a restroom facility, making it convenient for day trips. This is a straightforward, functional ramp ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to access the main river channel.
The Umpqua River in this area supports active fishing and water recreation. Paddlers should note that Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality has issued a permanent advisory for cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) on the Umpqua and South Umpqua Rivers, so check current water quality conditions before paddling. The nearby Smith River confluence and several regional campgrounds—including East Shore Campground (reservable) and Fawn Creek Campground with its own small ramp—offer additional exploration opportunities for multi-day trips.
