Cabin Creek Rest Area (I-5 Southbound) - Douglas County, Oregon - Highway Rest Areas on Waymarking.com

This small rest area is located at milepost 142 on southbound Interstate Highway 5, approximately 4 1/2 miles northwest of the town of Oakland. The rest area is in an attractive portion of rural Douglas County but offers only the typical amenities: restrooms, several picnic tables, a short walking path, and some beverage vending machines. There are a couple of interesting historical markers: a "Beaver Board" that provides information about the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians, a marker providing a short history of Oakland, and a marker noting Interstate 5's designation as a Blue Star Memorial Highway honoring those who served in the armed forces during World War II.

This rest area is separate and distinct from the northbound Cabin Creek Rest area, which is located approximately 1/2 mile to the southeast. The historical markers found at the southbound rest area are unique - not repeated at the northbound station.
