Once you park it's a fairly short hike down a well marked path, you may be tempted to take in all the scenery from the small park at the top but believe me the awesomeness will meet you at the waters edge. There's a small creek dividing the open area at the bottom of the trail it's a cake walk to cross it and if you've come this far you have to find a way to cross it, its about thirty feet wide but on this day it was merely a few inches deep, of course if there's a flash flood warning when you visit then your story may differ from mine. The sand is mostly silty in and around the creek but loosens up as your approach the water. As you stand amongst the giant rocks the waves atomizes the cool ocean water as it crashes into the rocks gently misting you with its salty spray, today the weather was quite warm so it was a welcoming anointment. The drift wood and rugged terrain is prehistoric and it's easy to imagine the Jurassic world when you stand so close to creation. The relentlessness of the ocean is almost deafening as the waves march ashore but yet it's a tranquil paradise filled with life forms that dance in the foam and tidal pools. If you can't find your sanity here all may be lost...

It's very short, about .5 miles and there's virtually no elevation. Parking is right off the highway. Some hike deeper into the forest and actually make their way on top of the bridges. Unfortunately some have also died doing so. Know your limits. There is a trail beyond the paved path and at some point it gets very steep and sketchy. This is where you should stop and turn around. It's best to enjoy these bridges from a distance and find much safer hikes to take which there are many of in this area. Happy hiking!

The view from the road of the beach coastline seemed pretty promising and since I was in no rush, figured why not stop and check this place out. For 9am in early August, the parking lot was half empty. I noticed people had their surfboards and boogey boards ready to go out in the waters. According to one of the entrance signs, Battle Rock said it's a city park but also a historic memorial "dedicated in memory of the ancient people and pioneer founders of the townsite". It was a quiet Sunday morning without a cloud in the sky and ideal for strolling the beach shores. This was a good opportunity to do some quality reflecting while taking a break from driving. The beach had a calming setting with moments to take photos of those vintage Oregon rocks protruding up from the ground. I would say though compared to the many vista point lookouts along Highway 101, this Battle Rock Park was just okay within the bigger picture of it all. I used 45 minutes walking the beach shores and soaking up the fresh air. It is free to stop on by here and explore. I noticed a Visitor Center next to the parking lot. It was closed unfortunately. And that's really it. Lastly, if I can say anything else, this Battle Rock Wayfinding Point is 13 miles north of the next roadside stop on my itinerary - Sisters Rock - a short trail to hike for terrific perspectives of Oregon's grand coastline.

There was a sign, however, to turn onto the one lane, potholed, tight dirt road that led us to the tiny parking area denoting we'd arrived at this state park. We took the trail out to the ledges and rock platforms that overlooked expansive views below and across the water. It was gorgeous, peaceful, and fun to explore the area, joined in our visit here by only one other couple (of geese). The underside of the sandstone edges really looked precarious, so we were careful to stay back. Otter Point is quite hidden and tucked away as compared to most other Boardman area viewpoints and landmarks...thereby offering a bit more serenity. A bit tight to maneuver the camper van down the road to get there, but definitely worth it.

We came for the museum and it was a quick distraction with a couple rooms decorated with photographs, infographics, and stuffed-animal displays about the fish, birds, wildlife, and history of the Rogue River. Kudos to those that invested the time and energy to put the exhibits together. Rounding up to a generous 4 stars because there probably aren't many other free options for quickly learning a bit about the history of the area.

However, on this particular day, there was a special cruise up the river that allowed dogs. It was actually part of a larger corgi dog event that was happening at the RV park we were staying at. When we found out about it, we signed up. Our little pup loved the boat ride, kinda like a dog who likes to stick his head out the window, ears blowing back, when you're driving down the road. I had a firm grip on her though, and she wasn't going anywhere. You get to see a lot of great wildlife and beautiful wild land scenery.

What an excellent way to end my summer break!…read more One Thursday morning, my partner and I sat in the living room with our coffee and began discussing adventures we could have before returning to school. He suggested Jerry's Rogue Jets in Oregon, recalling how much he enjoyed it as a child. So, we looked up the Wilderness Whitewater Tour and found four tickets available for the next day (Friday) at 11:30. He booked a hotel, and we drove to Oregon that Thursday afternoon. The tour, which departed from the Port of Gold Beach, took us through the scenic Rogue River Canyon. As we rode, the captain shared fascinating stories about the river's history and wildlife. He executed many fun, quick turns and dips that splashed us with water. Luckily, we were sitting in the back, so we didn't get as soaked as those in the front. Our first stop was in Agness, where we switched boats and were entertained by Captain John. We also had to wear safety vests during this second part of the tour. This time, we got thoroughly drenched, but I still enjoyed it. I just wish I had brought an extra set of clothes. Our daughters, who were sitting in the middle, complained that they didn't get wet enough, even though their hair and clothes were soaked. I guess they were hoping to be completely drenched. After returning to Agness, it was time for a meal at Cougar Lane Lodge. It was convenient that food and drinks were included in the price! While alcohol cost extra, we didn't feel like having cocktails or beer. The lunch was surprisingly excellent! The adult meal had a variety of choices, and my partner opted for the BBQ plate, which included ribs, pulled pork, and brisket, along with a muffin, beans, and coleslaw. Delicious! I chose the cheeseburger with fries, which was also tasty. I regretted not selecting the BBQ plate, but I was satisfied with my burger. Fortunately, my partner couldn't finish his meal, so I was able to have a few bites of the tender meat. After our hour-long lunch, we returned to the boat. This time, the captain did fewer quick turns and dips, but it was still enjoyable! He continued to share information about the area, himself, and the animals in the wilderness until we made it back to the Port of Gold Beach. It was an incredible boat ride!
