Activities you can enjoy

Toketee Group Site offers a range of recreational activities that cater to outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby North Umpqua Trail allows for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, making it a versatile choice for different skill levels. Toketee Lake offers fishing opportunities, with some of the best German Brown trout fishing in the state. However, due to dam repairs, the lake is 2-3 feet lower than the boat ramp, making it more suitable for small non-motorized boats. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with potential sightings of beavers, otters, great blue herons, and bald eagles. The close proximity to Watson Falls and Toketee Falls provides additional options for exploration.
