| The Historic Umpqua River Lighthouse was built between 1891 & 1894. Part of the Umpqua River State Park in Douglas County, Oregon, and just above Winchester Bay, the lighthouse history is fraught with Indian raids, bad weather knocking down the original structure and drowning tragedy. Fully restored, there are guided tours during the summer months. |  |
