Paddleboard Lake Marie at the Umpqua Lighthouse State Park

The Umpqua State Lighthouse is an emerald gem of Oregon Coastal perfection: dense forest intermingled with lakes and streams spill out onto a massive dune system that plays gatekeeper to the Umpqua River as it empties into the roaring Pacific Ocean. 

Lake Marie sits nestled in the heart of the park and is a perfect place for a sunrise paddleboard sessions. Don't forget to book a campsite or yurt.

To get to Lake Marie head south out of Reedsport for 5 miles before turning right onto Lighthouse Road. The road will continue down past the entrance to the campsite. Before the road makes a right the trail to the lake is on the left. There is parking near the lighthouse.
