This is my 4th time here just in the past 6mos. I love this park and can't seem to get enough!
Incredible spot to experience the King Tides when they roll in during the winter months. I stayed in the D campground, which is great and in walking distance to Waikiki Beach. There are bathrooms, with showers (yes! running water!!) a huge plus. Easy hiking trails to go up to the Lighthouse and Deadman's Cove or the Interpretive Center where the bunkers are and a great view of the Cape's Lighthouse, Oregon, mouth of the Columbia River, the North and South Jetty and of course, our beautiful Pacific Ocean
On the opposite side is the boat launch, a bustling place all day ..
Theres so many trails, lakes, overlooks, another gorgeous, newly updated Lighthouse- Northhead Lighthouse which is a must see. It's absolutely beautiful and so are the grounds and other buildings. Ill post my review of it there (see Northhead Lighthouse)
oh and .. I've never seen so many deer in one area! they are everywhere!! (Careful driving in/out as they're always walking along the roads)
Absolutely gorgeous park with stunning vistas and a beautiful lighthouse to visit. It was not crowded at all and I only wish I had more time to spend there.
The historic ending point of the Lewis and Clark expedition. An amazing park with two lighthouses and a number of ways to gays out on the incredible Pacific Ocean and cliffs the dominate the area. At one point, a protective camp, now a site with two retained lighthouses and incredible trails. Going through old growth forest areas. Definitely recommend Dead Man's cove as the sunsets for some incredible photos
