Park at the picnic area and find the concrete path heading south. Setting and Attractions: Lined with Iris plants and wind blown trees, the trail leads to a former lookout post. Previously a Coast Guard facility, this area is now a state park. The view is outstanding with jutting cliffs, offshore islands, and an unforgettable view of the southern coast. Trail Description: A concrete path leads the way through coastal trees and
grasses to the former lookout post. Before
you reach the lookout there is a connecting trail that links this trail
with the Tower trail. Be sure
to watch for Gray whales in December, March, and June. For more information, trail conditions and maps contact: Humbug Mountain State Park at (541)332-6774 or visit the Oregon State Park web site at www.prd.state.or.us |
