Local Scenery
Tenmile Lakes Day Use Area includes boat ramps, docks, picnic tables, fish cleaning stand, four horseshoe courts, and a swimming/wading area. Tenmile Lakes hosts a variety of fisheries; salmon, steelhead, large mouth bass, trout, crappie, blue gill, catfish, and occasionally, hybrid bass. Salmon and steelhead also use Tenmile Creek for spawning, creating superb spring and fall runs. The tallest of the Oregon Dunes can be reached from the
Umpqua Dunes Trailhead just across 101 from Tenmile Lakes.. Climb the tall dune at the halfway point of the interpretive loop for an incredible view of tree islands, open sand, high dunes, and the distant ocean. This area is closed to Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs).
