Explore the multitude of public trails along the spectacular Central Coast region of Oregon on June 2, National Trails Day.
Start at the U.S. Forest Service’s Cape Perpetua Visitor Center on a fee-free day for a list of available trails and services.
In partnership with the City of Yachats you’ll find information on hiking and biking, wildlife viewing, exploration of protected marine gardens, ocean view lodging, excellent area restaurants, and up-coming coastal events.
On the way, discover National Trails Day’s special focus trail; “Amanda’s Trail, a walk to remember our cultural past and better navigate our future.”
At Amanda’s bridge, Tribal Flutists will be performing in conjunction with Tribal Ceremonies from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Naturalist/Cultural Interpreters will also be on hand from multiple organizations.
Come for a fun-filled day of fishing and other activities on Saturday, June 9 at Hebo Lake Campground as part of Oregon’s annual Free Fishing Weekend. Forest Service and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife employees, along with volunteers, will be available from 8 a.m. until noon to assist youth with fishing. The event is open to the public and kids age 13 and under will receive a free goodie bag.
In addition to fishing, the day’s activities include a casting contest and raffle. Prizes will be awarded to the most accurate casters. The raffle drawing will be at noon. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and must be present to win a prize.
Day use fees will be waived all day Saturday but camping fees still apply. Hebo Lake does not have potable water, so bring your own water. Ice and bags will be provided for storing fish.
