Umpqua Lighthouse State Park is located less than a mile from the famous Salmon Harbor Marina on Winchester Bay, known for some of the best crabbing and sports fishing along the Oregon coast. The campground and developed day-use areas are situated along beautiful freshwater Lake Marie, open to non-motorized boating only. Favorite activities include hiking, picnicking, fishing, and paddling. There is also a small sandy lakeside beach. The park is located in the stretch of towering sand dunes protected by the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. There is no direct access to the dunes from the park; the nearest staging area is 1 ½ miles away at Umpqua Beach #3.
