Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Advisory...in effect until noon PDT Monday for eastern Douglas County...mainly for areas in the south Umpqua River valley near Tiller and the Umpqua National Forest east of Steamboat.

People can take the following precautions to protect their health: * Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air quality. * Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during periods of poor air quality. * People with heart or lung problems and young children are especially vulnerable.

About

Canton Creek Campground sits along the banks of Steamboat Creek in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest, just upstream from where the creek meets the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. This small campground packs notable amenities into its five sites: flush toilets, potable water from spigots at each end of the loop, picnic tables, and fire rings. A day-use pavilion with additional tables and grills makes the area suitable for small group gatherings. The location is prime for outdoor recreation. The 79-mile North Umpqua Trail passes through the vicinity with multiple trailheads accessible for hiking and mountain biking. The North Umpqua River offers world-class fly fishing, and whitewater rafting opportunities abound. Steamboat Creek itself provides a refreshing swimming spot accessible directly from the campground. Visitors should note this is a pack-it-out campground with no trash services. The maximum vehicle length is 24 feet, making it unsuitable for larger RVs. Quiet hours are enforced between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and the maximum stay is 14 consecutive nights.

Directions

From Roseburg, Oregon, travel east on OR-138 (North Umpqua Highway) for 39 miles to Steamboat Creek Road (Forest Road 38) and turn left. Canton Creek Campground is 0.25 mile on the right.
