Cape Lookout Point

Maps, Photos, Directions, and Trail information is below

On March 2^nd Kim and I went for a hike along Cape Lookout Point on the Oregon Coast. The trail is part of Cape Lookout State Park. The trail is not that long, about 2.4 miles each way with minimal elevation change. The cape is narrow which allows for views of both the north side and the south side of the cape. There are many spots that have great views along the trail. This is a very popular trail, we saw many people both coming and going. If you are looking for a short coastal hike you can’t go wrong with this one, just beware that the trail gets muddy and slick with rain. There are also a lot of exposed roots crossing the trail; at times they can make footing a bit tricky. It is interesting to note that in 1943 on a foggy day a B-17 bomber crashed into the south side of the cape, there is a plaque along the trail, the plaque is mounted about 8 feet above the trail.
