Prospect

​Nestled in the heart of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Prospect, Oregon, is a charming mountain town that offers a blend of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant community spirit. With its proximity to Crater Lake National Park, Prospect serves as an ideal base for exploring Southern Oregon’s diverse landscapes.

Outdoor Adventures

Prospect is surrounded by breathtaking natural attractions. Visitors can marvel at the Mill Creek Falls, a stunning 173-foot waterfall, or explore the Natural Bridge Viewpoint, where the Rogue River disappears into a lava tube and reemerges downstream. The Rogue River Gorge Viewpoint offers dramatic views of the river carving through ancient lava flows. For hiking enthusiasts, the nearby Union Creek Trail provides a serene walk through old-growth forests. For more adventure, check out our guide to the Rogue River corridor. 

Historic Accommodations

The Prospect Historic Hotel, built in 1888 as a stagecoach stop, has hosted notable guests like Theodore Roosevelt and Jack London. Restored to its former glory, the Prospect Hotel offers a blend of historic charm and modern comfort.
