Millpond Pavilion
North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River
THIS LOCATION IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO WILDFIRE DAMAGE.
Millpond Pavilion is beautifully set along Rock Creek, which flows into the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. The pavilion boasts a large picnic shelter that holds up to 200 people with modern conveniences like drinking water, a sink, large grills, electrical outlets and a fireplace.
The flat grassy area is perfect for a casual game of soccer or a more special occasion, like an outdoor wedding.
In 1988 congress designated the North Umpqua River as a National Wild and Scenic River, preserving and protecting it for outdoor enthusiasts. The river is a tributary of the Umpqua River, which runs for over 200 miles from the Cascade Range of southwestern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean.
Weddings and family reunions are very popular at this scenic destination. The long serving counter, stone fireplace, sink, two barbecue grills and multiple electric outlets create an ideal location for many festive occasions.
If groups choose to camp overnight, they can do so at the nearby Millpond Campground or the reservable Lone Pine Group Campground located across the road.
