    SOUTHERN OREGON

    The great outdoors is never more than a few minutes away in beautiful southern Oregon, where residents can choose an urban or a rural lifestyle and still enjoy the best of both worlds.

    The Rogue Valley includes more than a dozen distinctive small towns-all with their own festivals and celebrations. Forested slopes that provide abundant hiking, hunting, fishing and other recreational opportunities ring the entire area. More than a dozen golf courses are located throughout the Valley, including one designed by Robert Trent Jones that is located right here in Eagle Point.

    The Rogue Valley is a prosperous, progressive region served by an international airport and connected to the world by a growing technological infrastructure. 

    Southern Oregonians enjoy a unique lifestyle that combines the best of the country and the city.
