Steamboat Creek (Umpqua River tributary)

Steamboat Creek is a short tributary of the North Umpqua River in southwestern Oregon in the United States.

Approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) long, the creek is located on a remote part of the upper North Umpqua in the Calapooia Mountains west of the Cascade Range.

The North Umpqua and its tributaries renowned for its prolific runs of summer steelhead, including a high percentage of native fish.

The watershed of the creek was extensively clearcut during the late 1950s and 1960s until forestry practices were changed.

The recovery of the river, including the anadromous fish population is closely monitored as a test case for riparian habitat management.
