点评:Amazing state park with no day use fee. There were no trail maps that we could find, and there are no signs for trails, however the two we took were well maintained, gravel/paved with packed dirt in places, and benches to rest along the way.
The first stop we made was the pull out and parking area that you first come to when entering the park. The trail to the right takes you down to a stunning lookout where you can view a beach with giant driftwood logs along the right and a large colony of sea lions straight ahead. When we arrived, you could hear the sea lions barking from the parking lot. Pups were on the island ahead, and many adults were lounging on the rocks directly below us, some were diving in and hunting for fish, then heading over to the island. Lots of activity around 8 am.
From there the road makes a loop to head back out the way you came in. Nearly at the end of the loop, there is a trail head and parking on the side of the road. This trail is moderately steep, but well maintained, and will take you down to the beach. Stunning views on the way down and back up, but the treat is on the beach. If you can time your arrival about an hour before low tide, there are great, easy access tidal pools to explore, much easier to explore than the ones at Sunset Bay (where you need to climb lots of very slippery rocks) I wouldn't recommend taking the trail down to the beach until there is some light though, so time accordingly. At the end of the trail there are 2 very steep spots that take you to the beach, there is a rope to help with the acscent and decent, about 7 feet. Dont let this put you off, we are in our 50's and did it without issue.
Facing the water to the far left there are rocks with tide pools, we saw a few dozen of the rare ochre seastars in the pools, anemones, snails, crabs and small fish. We have been tide pooling along the OR coast, and this was by far the best one we did.
翻译:很棒的州立公园,无需支付日间使用费。我们找不到路线图,也没有路线标志,但我们走的两条路维护得很好,路面为碎石/铺装,有些地方有泥土,沿途有长椅可以休息。
我们停留的第一站是进入公园后首先看到的停车区。右边的小径将带您前往一个令人惊叹的观景台,在那里您可以看到海滩,右边有巨大的浮木原木,前面有一大群海狮。当我们到达时,您可以听到停车场传来的海狮叫声。小狗在前面的岛上,许多成年海狮在我们正下方的岩石上休息,有些则潜入水中捕鱼,然后前往岛上。早上 8 点左右活动很多。
从那里开始,道路绕了一圈,回到您进来的路。几乎在环路的尽头,路边有一个小径入口和停车场。这条小路坡度适中,但维护良好,可以带您下到海滩。下山和上山的路上风景优美,但海滩才是乐趣所在。如果您能在退潮前一小时左右到达,那里有许多很棒的潮汐池,可以方便探索,比日落湾的潮汐池容易探索得多(日落湾需要爬上许多非常滑的岩石)。不过,我不建议在天亮前走小路下到海滩,所以要合理安排时间。小路的尽头有 2 个非常陡峭的地方可以带您到海滩,有一根绳子帮助您上山和下山,大约 7 英尺。不要让这让您望而却步,我们 50 多岁了,却没有遇到任何问题。
面对最左边的水,有带潮汐池的岩石,我们在池子里看到了几十只罕见的赭石海星、海葵、蜗牛、螃蟹和小鱼。我们一直在俄勒冈州海岸沿线观赏潮汐池,这是迄今为止我们观赏到的最好的一次。
