Today is dedicated to the
exploration of the Samuel Boardman State Park and Scenic Corridor.
SAMUEL BOARDMAN STATE PARK AND SCENIC CORRIDOR
This
corridor is a 20 km., forested linear park with a rugged, steep coastline interrupted by
small sand beaches. Boardman State Park is a spectacular stretch of rocky overlooks and
uncluttered beaches, seaside prairies, spectacular vistas, secluded cove beaches, rugged
cliffs and forested sea stacks come one after the other at this park. Though there are
numerous overlooks along the highway, to fully appreciate this park requires taking a
hike. About 6 miles south of the Pistol River, is the Arch Rock Viewpoint, an area with a
beautiful view of an offshore monolith that has been carved into an arch by the action of
the waves. Two miles beyond this, is the Natural Bridge Viewpoint. Three more miles beyond
this there is the Whalehead Beach Viewpoint, where a pyramidal rock just offshore. In
another 1,5 miles you'll come to House Rock Viewpoint, which offers sweeping vistas to the
north and south. At Cape Ferrelo Viewpoint and Lone Ranch Viewpoint just to the south,
you'll find a grassy headland. Just south of here, watch for the Rainbow Rock Viewpoint,
which has a panorama of a stretch of beach strewn with large boulders. Three more miles
brings you to Harris Beach State Park, the last stop before to reach Brookings.
