North Trail

The North Trail at Cape Lookout State Park in Oregon is a challenging (hilly) route with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.

Start at trailhead along Cape Lookout Road. There are 3 trails available, North, Cape Lookout, and South trails.  Follow signs for the North trail.

The trail drops steeply through the forest into a narrow valley, crosses a small suspension bridge, and climbs back out. It then follows along the ocean, gradually dropping down to the state park campground.  Views of the ocean and Netarts Bay and sand spit are excellent.  Beach access is available near the campground. It's about 2.25 miles to the campground, making a 4.5 mile (approx.) round trip.

Dogs are permitted on-leash. This trail is family-friendly for older kids.
