Oakland is in the Umpqua Valley, which is famous for its wineries. A tour of the valley's wineries takes a visitor along riverbanks, through rolling hills and green valleys where the vineyards are situated. There are blue information signs that direct visitors along a wine tasting tour from Umpqua to Winston. Many of the wineries on the tour have daily tours and free wine tasting available. Located a few miles south of Oakland, it's one of the few rivers with a summer run of native steelhead.
Visitors can fish on their own, or hire a guide service.
The North Fork is also a popular hiking area, and has one of the state's greatest concentrations of waterfalls. Many have short hikes leading to them. The half mile hike to see Toketee Fall's 120 foot plunge is well worth a stop. Inc. All other marks are property of their respective owners. All rights reserved.
