Crater Lake National Park

Submarine races
hindu1936 Says:
For an exciting time in Roseburg, go down to the river and watch the submarine races. Take your book, blanket, coffee, and an alarm clock to wake up by. The last exciting thing to happen in Roseburg was in 1965 when a truck carrying fertilizer blew up. They still talk about...

Roseburg is smack dab in the middle of the state on Interstate 5.
Roseburg has a very expensive taxi service and a very inefficient public bus line. You're really better off driving, or for short trips, walk or bike! Roseburg is small enough to talk from the west city limit to the east in only a few hours...

Helpfulness
TheTravelSlut 276 reviews
Melrose Vineyards is a must-see and must stop if you are in the Roseburg area (between Eugene and Grants Pass/Ashland and right off Interstate 5). Their great award-winning wines are only surpassed by the great and friendly staff and owner.
The estate was established in 1996 on the South Umpqua River and has since become a highlight stop on the local and regional wine tours. Look for the attraction sign on Interstate 5 at various Roseburg exits.
The winery is listed as an attraction on the Interstate 5 roadsigns near Roseburg and also in various local tourist guides and brochures.
There is a free membership wine club with a 20% discount on all wine orders of a case or more; shipments of 2 to 3 premium Melrose wines delivered to your door 4 times a year.
Special events occur throughout the year such as the Seafood and WineFest plus the Annual Grape Stomp festival.
Melrose Vineyards specializes in Pinot Noir but also sells and serves top quality Pinot Gris, Merlot, Chardonnay and an award winning Cabernet Sauvignon.
What to buy: Wine, wine accessories, wine-related items from clothing to implements for eating or drinking.
They have a unique gift shop with speciality foods, custom gift baskets, a picnic area with panoramic view, wine club with special benefits.
and the Melrose Vineyards Tasting Room (barn). on the east side of Melqua Rd about one-half mile north of Melrose Road.
Tasting Room Open Daily 11-5pm

Roseburg is a logging town... Don't knock it, their wood products are used worldwide in everything from simple paper to complex architecturial projects... And they always plant more trees than they take, so their forests will always be there for the next generation to enjoy.

BOREDOM ALERT! This quiet little community doesn't have much in the way of activity, but serves as a gateway to other nearby spots that will please anyone willing to travel to them... So unless you can go places or like peace and quiet, this is probably not the best place to...

If you are boating or swimming in the North, South or Main Umpqua River. Please wear a life jacket, as all the rivers have bad undertows and swift running currents. These rivers are dangerous to the best of swimmers.

The Douglass County Fair happens every year at the Douglass County Fairgrounds. I never really liked this event. Its always WAY too crowded for the small town, the rides are kinda lame, the barnyards smell and the live bands are boring at best... Not to mention that during fair week the traffic in the small town of Roseburg becomes horrid...

Travel up the North Umpqua River highway. It is a senic drive. The town just east of Roseburg is Glide --- it is the only place in the World where 2 river meet head-on (Little River & North Umpqua). Also, there is plenty of hiking along the river and if you like waterfalls,...
10eke's General Tip
10eke Says:
We decided to stop to take a short walk in the wood. What looked really funny was the way fallen trees are handled. With chainsaws they cut away only the part that is blocking the path, since fallen trees are part of nature they are disturbed as little as possible.
