Singing Falls is located well within the boundaries of Umpqua National Forest yet it is easily accessible from either the Medford/ Grants Pass region or the Roseburg/Eugene districts. This provides a broad range of cultural and natural attractions ranging from pristine wilderness areas and ancient old growth forests to wineries and the famous Shakespeare festival of Ashland. The Applegate Trail pioneer museum on interstate 5 between Grants Pass and Canyonville (in Sunny Valley) features a close look at the first trail blazed from California to the fertile valleys of Oregon. Our oxen, Bright and Tears, along with Stanley, the drover, are "stars" of a multimedia film presentation at the museum. Historical Societies abound and they have done a great job preserving and presenting to the public the rich heritage of the surrounding vicinity

Recreation

This region is a naturalist's dream world. We have annual excursion events centering on the phenomenally diverse local flora and fauna. Here you will find hiking, boating, fishing, swimming, camping facilities, and horseback riding within areas of unique geological or ecological interest such as Crater Lake, Diamond Lake and the wide range of Wilderness areas. White water rafting on the Rogue River is a main summer attraction within a short driving distance. There are also numerous Farm and Wine tours.

The Umpqua National Forest covers nearly one million acres along the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Southwest Oregon. The Forest encompasses a diverse area of sparkling rivers and lakes, deep canyons, and rugged mountains up to 9200 feet in elevation, The Umpqua produces a wealth of water resources, timber, wildlife, fish habitat, minerals, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Included within the Forest are the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River, a portion of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, three wildernesses and the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area. Also within the Umpqua is the Diamond Lake Recreation Composite, one of the largest developed recreational facilities within the Forest Service.

The South Umpqua River originates on the district and has runs of steelhead, coho, and chinook salmon, and a resident population of trout and small mouth bass. Game animals on the district include blacktail deer, elk, black bear, and wild turkey. There is also an abundance of non-game species including the endangered peregrine falcon.

Recreation opportunities abound including fishing, hunting, hiking, swimming, picnicking, rock-hounding, and camping. The Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness Area is a 33,000-acre, high mountain wilderness separating the Rogue and Umpqua drainages. There are 100 miles of hiking trails on the district and 20 developed recreation sites. There are also wilderness lakes and ponds, with fishing year round, and miles of streams open for summer angling.
