Shady is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Oregon, United States. [1] It is about two miles south of Roseburg on a stretch of Oregon Route 99 also known as the Oakland-Shady Highway. [2] Shady is outside Roseburg's urban growth boundary, but it does have sewer service. [3] Because of sewer availability, Douglas County considers Shady an "urban unincorporated area". [3] [4] It is next to the South Umpqua River. [2]
Like nearby Green, Shady was a station on the Siskiyou Line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. [5] A cliff in the area is named "Shady Point". [6]
