The New Ecola Point to Indian Beach Trail
Just outside of Cannon Beach is one of our absolutely FAVORITE places to go on the Oregon Coast: Ecola State Park. We fell in love with this place on an anniversary trip to Oregon, where we spent an entire day exploring its trails and beaches in the rain. However, one trail we were disappointed to pass up was the Ecola Point to Indian Beach Trail.
My cousin, who frequents the Cannon Beach area, insisted that we had to hike the trail to Indian Beach during our stay. But when I started planning our trip I quickly learned that the trail was closed due to it being washed out at the end of 2015. I was super bummed!
Well imagine my glee when at the beginning of this year Dustin’s family announced that we would be doing a reunion on the coast. The first thing I did when I heard about our upcoming summer plans was to Google “status of Ecola Point to Indian Beach Trail”. Luckily my good friend Google didn’t let me down. I learned the trail had finally been reopened, after being closed for almost five years!
Having now hiked the “new” trail I am eager to share with you all the details. Whether you are a newcomer or veteran of Ecola State Park, this hiking guide will help you know what to expect when embarking on this fun family outing!
