Reviews
"Short, easy hike (about a mile). But beautiful views of the water. And you can hike further by jumping onto other trails."
"Beautiful nature preserve with hiking paths through scenic woods with multiple scenic water vistas. Limited parking. No restroom. Small beach and a few benches throughout the park. Worth a visit to this quiet local spot."
"This trail has thick forest and many rocky water vistas to take in. I walked it with my Mom, who is nearly eighty, the well-maintained trails were super accessible for her. There are MANY benches to take in the views. It smells both deliciously piney and sea salty. A rich diversity of birds inhabit the place. It is wonderful that Booth Bay has chosen to preserve these lands for the public."
"Best short hike in the area! Small parking area, but a great loop trail with lots of outward spikes to beautiful bay vistas! Most of the trail is deep shaded woods, with blue blazed vista. Fair amount of roots and stairs, but the best views and huge trees!"
