Devils Flat
About Devils Flat
Enjoy a beautiful drive through the picturesque Cow Creek drainage on your way to one of the most interesting campgrounds in Umpqua. Located under a bluff and surrounded by a forest of cedar, pine, and madrone, Devil's Flat is a small campground with three campsites, a bevy of hiking opportunities, and a handful of historic landmarks. On the north side of the campground, you can see the stone ruins of an old water fixture built by the Civilian Conservation Corps "Fire-Eaters" in the 1930s. On the south side is the old Devil 's Flat Guard Station, where you'll find a Ranger Cabin built in 1915 and a 1920s-era horse barn. Near the ranger cabin in a fir tree, you can also see the tiki carving that gave Devil's Flat its name. Devil's Flat offers easy access to beautiful hikes of varying length and difficulty: Cow Creek Falls Trail #1422 makes a 0.3-mile loop along cascading Cow Creek Gorge. Elk's Skull Bluff Trail #1428A makes a 0.5-mile loop from the campground to a vantage point of the Upper Cow Creek drainage. Maranatha Trail #1422A travels 1.5 miles to a viewpoint over the Cow Creek drainage. Devil's Flat Trail #1428 leads five miles to the top of Red Mountain.
