Ecola State Park

Ecola State Park offers a dramatic view of the coastline, including the beach, Haystack Rock and south to Oswald West State Park. The park is one of the most photographed locations in Oregon. The 3.5 miles of clean hard sand are eminently walkable. The 1300-acre park includes much of the magnificent ocean frontage extending from the northern edge of the city of Cannon Beach to Indian Beach.

Ecola State Park contains splendid examples of old-growth Sitka spruce, western hemlock forest and habitat for elk and deer.

Within the park, the Tillamook Head Trail extends six miles from Seaside to Cannon Beach following the same coastal exploration routes used by Lewis and Clark.

The park is 2 miles north of Cannon Beach and features many picnicking areas. A hike-in camp is located near Indian Creek.

Quality experiences await visitors to more than 200 state parks managed for the public by the Oregon State Parks.

In 1806, Captain William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition named a creek in this area Ecola Creek, based on the Chinook word for whale, "ekoli."

One of the most recognizable photos on the Oregon Coast is the view of Crescent Beach with Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock in the distance.
