About
Rujada Day Use Picnic Area is located within the Rujada recreation complex along Layng Creek in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest. The site features a large, open grassy field surrounded by Douglas fir, providing an excellent setting for family reunions, parties, and group activities. Two reservable picnic sites each accommodate up to 30 people, or both can be reserved together for groups of 60. Facilities include picnic tables and grills at each site, flush toilets, and potable drinking water. A playground and horseshoe pit provide additional recreation options. The Swordfern Trail departs from the historic Civilian Conservation Corps register booth within the picnic area, offering a moderately challenging loop hike through second-growth forest. Three spectacular waterfall trails are located within 10 miles: Spirit Falls (0.4 miles to a 60-foot waterfall), Moon Falls (0.5 miles to a 125-foot cascade), and Pinard Falls (0.6 miles to a 105-foot waterfall).
