Continued from page 75
years ago with its awe-inspiring panoramic
vistas and active artistic community that
supports eight galleries. Port Orford was
established in 1851 and is the oldest town on
the South Coast. Today Port Orford is the
northern gateway to America’s Wild Rivers
Coast. The area is a haven for the outdoors
enthusiast: scuba dive in the ocean, windsurf
the coves of Floras Lake, hike and fly fish the
Elk and Sixes rivers. The dock here is the only
open-water port on the Oregon Coast and
is one of six “dolly” ports in the world where
recreational and commercial fishing boats are
hoisted into and out of the water daily. This
town of 1200 offers lodging at state and RV
parks and motels and dining at a variety of
cafes. Port Orford Heads State Park’s historic
Coast Guard Lifesaving Station museum
is open to the public, and visitor information is provided at the historic Battle Rock
Wayfinder Point.
Take a scenic walk on the Port Orford
Wetland Interpretive Walkway, located near
7th and Idaho Streets. This boardwalk has
several viewing platforms to see wood ducks
and hooded mergansers.
301.1 - Battle Rock Park
The 1851 battle between an advance
party of nine settlers and local native
Indians took place here. Plenty of parking
and a visitor center.

The Chetco River divides Brookings
from its unincorporated neighbor Harbor.
The North Bank Road goes up the Chetco
River to nearby Azalea Park and 8 miles farther to Alfred A. Loeb State Park. The state
park is near a trail through a redwood grove.
On the south side, South Bank Road leads
inland to Salmon Run Golf Course. The 18hole course was constructed to preserve the
environment as much as possible. A meandering stream has numerous bridges and is the
biggest hazard for golfers. Salmon actually do
inhabit the golf course. Lower Harbor Road
reaches the Port of Brookings–Harbor. Port
facilities include a marina, port-operated RV
park, a boardwalk, and shops. The chamber
of commerce building is well marked and
offers both advice and brochures for visitors.
360.7 - Chetco Valley Museum
The museum is home to the state’s largest
Monterey cypress, which was planted in the
1850s. Open mid-April through October,
Thursdays through Sundays (541-469-6657).

rom the historic town of Smith
River, with its miles of lily fields, to the
Klamath area with its majestic redwoods,
Del Norte County has only one sizable
town: Crescent City, located on a tongue
of land that juts into the ocean.
The town is the gateway to the Smith
River National Recreation Area, famous
for its redwoods and for its miles of scenic
rivers. The redwood groves of Jedediah
Smith Redwoods State Park along Hwy
199 and Del Norte Coast Redwoods State
Park along Hwy 101 between Crescent City
and the Klamath area create awesome scenic
corridors along the county’s major highways.
While driving along the Del Norte
coast, notice the tidal lagoons, favorites of
fishermen and birders. And you can’t miss
the incomparable Trees of Mystery that has
been attracting sightseers since the 1940s.
