Oregon's Rogue-Coquille Scenic Byway runs 82.7 miles from Gold Beach to Myrtle Point, following Oregon 33 through old-growth Siskiyou National Forest. The route tracks the Wild and Scenic Rogue River east to Agness, then climbs over a low divide and drops into the Coquille River basin, passing through a narrow canyon guarded by high cliffs and waterfalls. Near the byway's start, Battle Rock at the mouth of Lobster Creek marks the site of a bloody 1800s clash between settlers and the Native Americans of the Rogue River corridor, one in which nearly all the Native combatants were killed. Farther along, the historic towns of Myrtle Point and Coquille carry buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, and Powers holds the Historic Wagner House, the region's oldest surviving pioneer home. Old-growth Douglas fir and Port Orford cedar line much of the drive, a rare stretch of largely undeveloped coastal-forest river country.
