Floated the river yesterday from Amacher Park to Hestness Landing! The weather was beautiful and the river felt so nice. Perfect temp!

When the weather warms, the boat landing at Amacher Park becomes a launch point for floating the North Umpqua River. Our favorite float ends  at Hestness Landing and takes about two hours. Paddling a kayak shortens the trip, while a slow drift can stretch it longer.

Floaters who want a longer day on the water continue past Hestness to River Forks Park, a route that runs closer to four to six hours depending on the pace. 

Amacher Park sits on the North Umpqua about six miles north of Roseburg, near Winchester. The 15.5-acre county park offers day-use areas, picnic spots, seasonal swimming, fishing, and a campground, along with the developed boat ramp and river access.

This Saturday, June 20th, the Douglas County Association of REALTORS is hosting Open House Day across the county, and it's shaping up to be the easiest way all year to go house hunting.

Twenty-eight homes will be open in a single afternoon, spread across Roseburg, Winchester, Sutherlin, Oakland, Winston, Riddle, and Myrtle Creek. Roseburg alone has seventeen homes on the list, with showings starting as early as 10 a.m. and the last doors staying open until 4 p.m. Whether you're a first-time buyer just starting to look or someone who's been watching the market for a while, there's a good chance something on the list is worth a visit.

The day is built to be low-pressure and easy. Local agents will be on hand at each home to answer questions, talk through the neighborhood, and help you get a feel for what fits. No appointment needed, just show up and look around.

There's a little extra incentive, too. At every open house you visit, you can enter your name for a chance to win a Yeti Tundra 45 cooler. Each home is another entry, so the more you tour, the better your odds, a fun reason to make a full day of it and see a few more places than you planned.

So mark it on your calendar for tomorrow, Saturday, June 20th.

"With unseasonably hot and dry conditions, Umpqua National Forest officials will raise the fire danger level from 'low' to 'high' and Public Use Restrictions (PURs) will move to Stage 1 beginning at 12:01 a.m., Friday, June 19, 2026. In PURs Stage 1 all campfires are prohibited outside of Forest Service-constructed fire rings in designated recreation sites under a Forest Order.

Stage I PURs:

All campfires, charcoal or briquette fires, pellet fires, and any other open fires are prohibited outside Forest Service-constructed fire rings within designated recreation areas. Campfires fueled by pressurized fuel/propane are allowed. Campfires in wilderness are not prohibited.

Smoking is prohibited except within an enclosed vehicle, building or area cleared of flammable material at least three feet in diameter.

Internal Combustion Engine – Chainsaws – No chainsaw use is allowed from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., with a one-hour fire watch requirement at all other times.

Motorized vehicles may operate only on designated trails and roads. Use of vehicles off National Forest system roads is prohibited except in an area devoid of vegetation within 10 feet of roadway or minimal travel over bare mineral soil to access dispersed camping sites.

Welding and explosives are prohibited.

Prevention is our strongest defense against human-caused wildfires. Visitors and local communities are urged to take extra precautions. Remember that even fires in Forest-constructed fire rings within designated recreation sites need to be dead out before leaving your campsite. Drown, stir, and feel your campfire with the back of your hand. The fire should feel cold to the touch before leaving your campsite.

Fire danger may change quickly, and everyone is encouraged to "Know Before You Go" when planning a trip outdoors. Additional information is available on the Umpqua National Forest website."

Umpqua National Forest Moves to Stage 1 Public Use Restrictions and High Fire Danger

The City of Roseburg Fire Department, Central Douglas Fire & Rescue, and Cow Creek Tribal Fire Management will be actively engaging in wildland fire training exercises on Reservoir Hill today, June 17, as well as June 19 and 20, 2026. During the training exercises, live burning will occur throughout the day. Training will take place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day. Firefighters may remain at the training location for an extended period after training has concluded for site cleanup.

The wildland fire training exercises are being conducted under carefully planned and controlled conditions to reduce the amount of fuel available for future wildfires.  This training provides firefighters with valuable hands-on experience while helping create safer conditions that can slow the spread and intensity of potential wildfires in our community.

The City of Roseburg would like to thank Central Douglas Fire & Rescue and Cow Creek Tribal Fire Management for their assistance, support, and participation in the upcoming wildland fire training. This collaborative effort highlights the importance of inter-agency interoperability and provides critical benefits to all agencies involved by enhancing coordinated response capabilities and overall preparedness. The City of Roseburg Fire Department would also like to thank the City of Roseburg Police Department for providing additional assistance related to the training.

As always, safety will be the number one priority for personnel participating in the training. For everyone’s safety, we kindly ask photographers and the public to stay clear of the designated training burn site. Drone operators are reminded that flying drones over the prescribed burn site is prohibited for both safety reasons and potential interference with firefighting operations. Your cooperation helps ensure a secure environment for all fire personnel involved.

Wildland Fire Training With Live Burning Set for Reservoir Hill June 17, 19, and 20

Oregon Sourdough Co. is relocating from Roseburg to Myrtle Creek, with its last day at the Stephens Street bakery set for Saturday, June 20.

The bakery's new home will be at 236 N. Main St. in Myrtle Creek, just off Exit 108. This week is the final stretch of operations at the Roseburg shop before the transition.

The move was not part of the business's original plans. According to the bakery, an extensive search for available space in Roseburg did not produce a workable option, and an opportunity in Myrtle Creek opened up instead. The new space offers more room to expand its lineup of sourdough breads, pastries, and other items.

A grand opening date for the Myrtle Creek location has not been set yet. They will share updates as plans are finalized
