Rogue Umpqua National Scenic Byway, Prospect is near the wild and scenic Rogue River and an array of waterfalls. A trail head along Mill Creek Drive provides access to the Avenue of the Boulders, Barr Creek Falls, and Mill Creek Falls. Nearby North Fork Park offers day recreation and fishing.

Numerous state parks and forest service campgrounds are located in the area and provide access to fishing, boating, hiking and biking opportunities. Enjoy old logging roads that have been converted to miles and miles of off-highway vehicle trails. A swimming hole favored by locals, "The Peninsula" has a small waterfall and places to swim and wade.
 
Sugar pines and other tall evergreens forma canopy above, while fragrant pine cones litter the trails. In spring, before deciduous trees sprout their leaves, the forest floor is a soft carpet of green moss with small orchids poking through. Spring and fall bring mushrooms that draw hunters from afar. Autumn offers a cascade of brilliant colors and huckleberries for those who seek them out. Prospect is a gateway to winter recreational activities. Miles of cross country ski trails and 150 miles of well-groomed snowmobile trails take you to unsurpassed winter vistas, including Crater Lake. A great sledding hill is located nearby at Union Creek Resort. Join us for all-season fun.
