Scottsburg | |
The picturesque town of Scottsburg is located along the always scenic Hwy 38 in Douglas County. As a community on the Umpqua River, Scottsburg was once a major river port, now a quiet hide away with several historic buildings. It is situated downriver from Elkton, about 20 miles upstream from the Pacific Ocean. It was named for founder Levi Scott, who ran a mercantile business. Ocean-going schooners would sail up here and unload freight and passengers bound for the interior valleys and gold fields of southern Oregon.Fishing for salmon and steelhead on the Umpqua is a very popular venue for visitors and residents alike. There is also a Scottsburg, Indiana.
