The stretch of river encompasses the four city parks of Deer Creek Park, Gaddis Park, River Front Park & Stewart Park (see access points below).
There is plenty of parking at Stewart Park and Gaddis Park with an access path along the entire river front length.
Important note: The city noise ordinance must be followed; mufflers required and operating hours are 7am-to-7pm Mon-Sat, No dredging allowed on Sundays and Holidays. Cigarette smoking and the consumption of alcohol are not allowed in Roseburg city parks and violators will be cited.
