North Umpqua Trail: Swiftwater and Tioga Segment

Whether you are after an extended day hike or have your sights on completing the entire length of the North Umpqua Trail, the North Umpqua Trail: Swiftwater and Tioga Segment is a challenging route that showcases the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Setting out from the Swiftwater Trailhead, you will make your way to the southeast through the forest, passing by Deadline Falls as you travel through the forest along the banks of the North Umpqua River. There aren’t many intersecting trails here, so just keep straight and you should have no problems in terms of navigation.

After skirting around Bob Butte, you will descend slightly and cross over Bob Creek, before continuing on to the east. Keeping the river on your left, you will traverse the forest landscape, crossing over Fox Creek and Thunder Creek before arriving at the end point of the route.
