Umpqua River Light, Lighthouse in Winchester Bay, United States.
The red brick lighthouse stands 65 feet tall on a coastal bluff, featuring a first-order Fresnel lens that emits red and white flashes over Winchester Bay.
Construction of the current lighthouse started in 1892 to replace the original 1857 structure that fell into the Umpqua River due to foundation issues.
The lighthouse museum, housed in a former Coast Guard building, displays maritime artifacts and documents the evolution of coastal navigation in Oregon.
Guided tours of the lighthouse operate from May through October, allowing visitors to climb the spiral staircase and learn about maritime navigation methods.
The lens system produces alternating red and white beams visible for 21 nautical miles, making it the only lighthouse on the Oregon coast with this pattern.
