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.

Overview

Umpqua National Forest encompasses 983,239 acres on the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains in southern Oregon, spanning Douglas, Lane, and Jackson Counties. The forest is currently open with no public use restrictions and low fire danger. Recent rain and cooler temperatures in late September 2025 led to the removal of summer fire restrictions. As of winter 2025, all ranger stations are operating normally except for holiday closures (Dec 24-25 and Jan 1). Current alerts include ranger station holiday closures, Herman Creek Bridge repairs on the Cottage Grove District causing lane delays, and damage to a bridge on the Dread and Terror section of the North Umpqua Trail (1.75 miles upriver from Umpqua Hot Springs Trailhead). Hot springs regulations remain in effect (Order No. 06-15-03-24-03) prohibiting presence after sundown/before sunrise, camping in the area, and restricting camping within a five-mile radius to 14 consecutive days max (28 days per calendar year). The forest offers 54 campgrounds with 800+ campsites across four ranger districts (Cottage Grove, Diamond Lake, North Umpqua, and Tiller). Cell reception is minimal throughout the forest—plan accordingly.
