Reedsport is a coastal town in northwest Douglas County, Oregon, United States.

[6] The building of Southern Pacific Railroad lines extending south to Coos Bay led to the development of Reedsport.

Before the post office was established in 1912, Reedsport was a camp for railroad construction workers.

In the last quarter of the 20th century, Reedsport struggled with the collapse of the Oregon timber industry.

Although the U.S. Forest Service maintains a local office in the town, Reedsport's historic connection with the timber industry ended in 1999 with the closing of the International Paper plant in nearby Gardiner.

A number of businesses catering to all-terrain vehicles have opened in Reedsport to serve the needs of this growing activity.

Although 26.3 mornings will fall below 32 °F or 0 °C, only 0.9 afternoons reach 90 °F or 32.2 °C, and the hottest temperature recorded is only 97 °F (36.1 °C) on August 29, 1944, and September 5, 1973.

The wettest month record is November 1973 with 26.07 inches (662.2 mm), whilst June to September have on occasions been rainless.

[4] The Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Sculpting Championships was started in 1999 and held every year since 2000 at the Rainbow Plaza over Fathers Day Weekend.

[12] The Dean Creek Wildlife Area is 3 miles (5 km) east of Reedsport on Oregon Route 38.

It features interpretive panels, short films, and information about the local area and attractions.

On July 20, 2016, Alex Hirsch, creator of the Disney animated series Gravity Falls, released clues for a global scavenger hunt known as Cipher Hunt to find a real-life statue of the show's villain, Bill Cipher.

[13][14] The statue was finally discovered on August 2, 2016, in the woods south of Reedsport Community Charter School, but it was removed from the property the next morning.

OPT listed high costs, technical challenges, and complicated negotiations with governments and stakeholders among its reasons for cancelling the project.
