Canyonville is the kind of Southern Oregon town people often pass through without realizing how much is tucked into its few square miles. It sits along Interstate 5 in Douglas County, framed by forested hills and the broad landscape that gives this part of Oregon its character.

It sits along Interstate 5 in southern Douglas County, close enough to the traffic flow that many people know the exit sign, yet small enough that its character still feels personal.
