Things to Do in Reedsport With Kids
Winchester Bay
Take a Lap Around Lake Marie Loop
An easy 1-mile loop around spring-fed Lake Marie, starting from a small sandy swimming beach below the Umpqua River Lighthouse. Flat, shaded, and great for kids. Difficulty: easy.
Drop a Crab Ring at Windy Cove
A 900-foot dock jetting into the Umpqua River in Winchester Bay, reopened for public crabbing and fishing after repairs. The surrounding park adds a beach, parking, and picnic areas for an easy afternoon.
Uptown Reedsport
Toss a Disc Through the Woods at Bicentennial Park
A free, 9-hole disc golf course loops through this 19.5-acre wooded park along Providence Creek, with a footbridge and shaded walking path for non-golfers too. Short, quirky, and full of local charm.
Play Through the Old Growth at Reedsport Golf Course
A 9-hole course built in 1962, now public, tucked into a wooded valley with wind protection and some of the best greens on the coast. Pro shop, restaurant, and cart rentals make it easy for golfers of any skill level.
Take the Rope Swing at Highland Pool
Located at Highland Elementary since 1955, this community pool offers public swim, lap swim, swim lessons, and aquacise classes, plus a rope swing that's a local favorite. Daily admission is just $3, and the pool is also available for private party rentals.
Winchester Bay
Build a Driftwood Fort at Ziolkouski Beach Park
Oregon's most sheltered beach, tucked in Winchester Bay between the Umpqua River's massive north and south jetties. Wander a driftwood-lined shoreline, build a driftwood fort, or go rockhounding in calmer bay-side waters instead of the open sea.

Head right for miles of open beach access near Winchester Bay, backed by the tallest dunes in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. ATV riders stage to the left, but the beach itself stays car and OHV-free year-round, perfect for a quiet walk or a climb up the dunes for sweeping ocean views.
