Where the Waterfalls Are
Shady Cove sits in or near the Umpqua and Rogue Country area of Oregon. Southern Oregon is a major waterfall region in its own right. Douglas County, second in the state, includes the North Umpqua corridor east of Glide, where many falls lie a short distance off the highway amid old-growth forest and columnar basalt. The upper Rogue River in Jackson County flows through lava tubes and narrow gorges, and Josephine County's falls lie in the older, more complex rock of the Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains. Klamath and Curry counties add falls at the southern end of the Cascades and in the coastal mountains. This region is less crowded than the Gorge and rewards longer road trips.
