This lesser known spot along the Boardman Corridor turned out to be one of my favorite stops.
As we continued our tour up the 101 my husband happened to have noted a stop at Otter Point, yet I saw no sign as we turned off the road. 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. read more
