Wolf Creek, Umpqua River
Visited this DP while making a geocaching run along the Umqua River between Elkton and Sutherlin.
Dashpoint is within the riparian zone of Wolf Creek, a tributary of the mighty
Umpqua River. I accessed this DP via OR State Highway 138 to Douglas Co. Road
#33 (Tyee Road) then following this road to BLM road 25-7-5.1 where it crossed
the Umpqua River. Following 25-7-5.1 about 2 miles west I found myself on the
opposite side of Wolf Creek from the DP but was within 140 feet. Noticed a
roadside pullout with a sign stating “Watchable Wildlife Area” just a few
hundred yards to the west along this same road.
Warm day, lots of people out on the Umpqua River fishing and swimming.
Will upload a couple of pics tonight.
