| Notes: | Two former seperate but connected trails; the Oregon Dunes Trail and the Tahkenitch Creek Loop Trail have now been renamed as one trail, the Oregon Dunes Loop Trail. The trailhead is located in the Oregon Dunes Overlook parking lot. You have a choice of starting from either the observation deck, or from the restroom area. This makes about a 5 mile loop. Check the map at the bottom of this page. Keeping track of the posts is the key to staying the trail. |
